Settling In

Every child that comes into the Forever Home and New Day gets an assessment done on them to see where they are. It is a wonderful tool that we use a lot! It helps us to know where they may be behind in and what things we can work on to catch them up to their peers. It also helps us track their progress each month giving us new goals to reach once they've accomplished others. I have been very impressed with where Elly is in her progress level. She has clearly been in a program and been taught many things--that much is obvious as I have been evaluating her these past few days. I will likely not be done evaluating her until the end of this week. I can tell you this, she's one smart girl and isn't too far behind according to her age.
