Neil was operated upon for a tongue tie release in February 2019.
As found out recently by our Developmental Pediatrician, Neil has some sensory processing issues. We are yet to meet an OT to receive help, but as observed by us, a calm environment with less stimulation lets Neil be himself the most. Big noises and crowded classrooms don't help him focus that well. For example, Neil would rather finish his lunch in peace than rush through it and run off to play during the recess. A stickler for rules, Neil does thrive in an environment where he is respected while knowing his limits. Before joining the public school system in BC, Neil had attended a Reggio-Montessori inspired preschool back in Bangkok, so he is familiar with the concept of Montessori classrooms. Fairly new to Canada and still catching up in terms of his motor skills and speech, we wish to give Neil a little more time to grow up and build his social skills.
