om: Zevy initiates conversations now and we can have regular give and take. He’s doing better in school too but the real proof of progress is that Zevy is so much happier.

Rebbi: Zevy’s scores in Gemara went up from 65 to 85. And this week he came up with a great diyuk on his own!

Zevy: School is easier I chap it faster. And I can explain what I want to say better. I like reading now; I used to just read captions. It’s like everything got a little easier. I’m even more chilled with my friends. I can schmooze with the guys — it’s awesome.

Zevy’s mother and I meet to discuss his termination of therapy.
