School is finally over! Well, maybe not for all of us as some of our kids are attending summer school. Honestly, I don't think I'd have stayed sane if it weren't for school and summer school!! don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but I also very much enjoyed being able to breathe for a while and school provided that period of respite. Those days are pretty much gone for me - my eldest (Sam) and his sister (Lucy) are now graduates. And my youngest (Mac) is being homeschooled. But I continue to try and find some time for myself.
Summer does provide a break from my work as an educational consultant and advocate. Most of my clients are on the autism spectum and that really is my area of expertise. But I very much enjoy meeting clients who are facing other challenges and being able to help certainly warms my soul!
But, as the saying goes, "no rest for the wicked". This summer, I'm helping a few clients who have unresolved IEP/placement issues, I'm working on my webpage (http://www.merrynaffleck.com), and I'm putting together my next project - a series of webinars designed to help give parents some training and confidence to be better advocates for their kids. So, stay tuned and I'll let you know the progress and how you can attend my webinars.
In the meantime, enjoy the summer!! Have fun, smile, relax with your kids. Trust me - the time disappears faster than you think possible.
Cheers
Merryn Affleck
