Kavin had a fantastic summer. He participated in many camp programs and did
great! Kavin also enjoyed several trips to Catalina with grandma Sue. Many
people who remembered Kavin from last summer commented on how much Kavin was
talking and how clear is speech is getting. Kavin has really grown-up over
the last year. We have noticed that most of all, Kavin's social skills are so
much more developed. While he used to be a very passive and quiet boy, today
Kavin is very outgoing and has much more of a leadership role with his younger
brothers.
This year Kavin is
fully-included in the third grade. He enjoys school and is even more willing
to do his homework without too much prompting. Kavin continues to be involved
with MYART theater group on the weekends. He is currently rehearsing for the
productions of "The King and I."

Kavin just completed second grade at Perry Elementary School. Kavin is a
fully-included student and enjoys school very much. He had an excellent year
making progress academically and in the area of speech and language. Kavin is
looking forward to third grade next year.
Kavin continues to be involved in community theater and recently completed the
production of "Wizard of Oz." In the fall Kavin will start rehersals for the
play "Anna and the King of Siam." Kavin loves the theater both as an actor and
as part of the audience. We have season tickets to children's productions at
several local theaters. As a result, Kavin happily attends at least two plays
a month. Kavin also takes swimming lessons twice a week.
 This summer Kavin is looking forward to participating in a variety of camp
programs. Kavin will attend several weeks of Camp James and Science
Adventures Camp. Kavin will also participate in his annual
trip to Muscular Dystrophy Camp. It should be a great summer for Kavin as he
loves the camp experience and most especially meeting new friends.

Kavin
(9) is attending Perry School as a fully-included
second grade student. Kavin is doing well in school. He is most excited about
learning to read. Kavin just loves books and going to the library. Kavin has
developed many friendships since attending class with his typical peers. Kavin's
language skills have improved so much this past
 school
year. Kavin certainly is no longer the shy quiet boy we used to know. Despite
his muscular dystrophy, Kavin is also becoming quite the athlete. He loves
kickball and soccer and is starting to learn how to play basketball too. Kavin
is frequently the first child on the playground to make sure he is part of the
kickball game.
Kavin also loves theater; given a choice of any activity Kavin will always ask
to go to see a play! He has seen many plays this year but by far his favorite
was "Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat." He went to this play with grandma
Sue, as well as with mom and dad. When the play was over, Kavin wanted to see it
again! Kavin also had the opportunity to see a major production of "Oliver!" and
"Annie" this year. Kavin has season tickets to the La Mirada Children's Theater
and loves attending every performance.
Kavin
is involved with MYART children’s theater and SCATS gymnastics. These activities
have helped Kavin with his coordination while channeling his natural talent.
