Very cool story, sounds like a very well adjusted kid.

My son has a special needs kid in his kindergarten class. She is wheelchair bound and non-verbal. She gets out of her chair during reading time to stretch on the floor and that is about it. She sits in on music and will hold a music box while the rest of the class sings, but that is about it for real interaction with the class.

My son absolutely loves her, sits with her at snack, has her go down to the office with him to take the attendence when it is his day to be "special helper". He is the only kid that this girl won't bite and he wants to have her over to play and have her come to his birthday.

His teacher and this girls full time helper have given us so many compliments about how our son is so loving and helpful toward this girl. The thing is, I am not even sure we had ever discussed people with special needs before he went to school this year. It is all on my son. I am very proud of him.
