    I've been so impressed with how much my son has learned.  He's giving people direct eye contact (which was a problem before) and he's speaking up as well.  He now orders his own food perfectly when we go to restaurants and when we went out to eat last Thursday, an older woman stopped as she and her husband were leaving to comment on how well behaved he was.  He is holding doors for people as well.  I can't wait until he can take the next class!
