NEWSFLASH!<\/p>\n
<\/span> Email from the Director of Residences at Nat’s school: <\/p>\n Just checking in,<\/p>\n I was at the House on Tuesday evening and Nat was assisting with dinner. He is doing very well at the house. He has had no difficulty around shaving, or waiting for snacks or meals. Staff and his sleep data indicate that he is sleeping throughout the evening.<\/p>\n I spoke with Nat on Tuesday about running and asked him if he would be interested. Nat looked at me for about 30 seconds, smiled and stated yes. I would like to start taking Nat and another student from one of the other houses who is verbal and very social running together 1 day a week to start and then slowly increase the days and the duration as they are having success. I can also use running as a platform to teach some social skills with both young men.<\/p>\n First I would like to get your permission for this, second I wanted to know if you could get Nat some running shoes. Usually New Balance or Asics are solid shoes that are pretty durable.<\/p>\n Hope all is well and I look forward to hearing from you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n YES!! <\/span>Time to buy sneakers. And a new head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEWSFLASH! Overheard, at a Jewish deli in Brookline:Ben Batchelder, to his parents: “I miss Nat.
