I've had a busy week. I've only got a few minutes right now, so I'll be brief in this entry, but I'll post more this weekend, when I have some time to sit and type.
I had another IEP meeting. This one was attended by the Autism Team, the Special Education Director for the school, and a Family Service Coordinator for Easter Seals. This had a huge effect on the dynamic of the meeting. For the first time this year, I felt like someone wanted to see my son succeed academically, instead of focusing on what a problem he was. The IEP was not completed, and we have to reconvene, but I am "cautiously optimistic."
Yesterday, I spent the day touring the Therapeutic Day School in Tinley Park. OMG, was that an eye opener! I wish I could insist that every member of that IEP team could go tour that school.
Well, more later...
