Angel's first day of Pre-Kindy was on her B'day, Although Angel seemed to settle a bit better than what she was a few months ago, she was still non-verbal, still poor eye contact and still rarely responded to her name. The first day of prekindy and instantly my wife noticed that Angel was not interacting with any of the other kids, the teacher called out "story time" and all the kids were soon sitting around the teacher while angel was still playing by herself in the corner of the classroom. As parents were allowed to stay during the first few days, we took the opportunity to observe angel at school. While the rest of the kids were following the instructions of the teacher our little angel was still on the other side of the classroom busy playing with some beads she found unware of anything happening around her.
At that very moment my wife and I looked at each other and knew something was wrong. My wife was no longer able to watch and was totally come over with emotion and for the first time let it all out right there and then. We spoke to the teacher at the end of day and had her own opinion about angel. She said "I think angel might have Developmental Dyspraxia"
Angel made no improvement interacting with the kids in school in the next few days to follow. It was time to see the Doctor....
