A child with ASD is like a snow flake or finger print in the sense that, from a distance they look similar or even the same but upon closer examination they are in fact, quite different. Each unique in their own way with no two being the same.

Patience is not always my strong point....

I'll just admit that up front.

I am trying my hardest to be patient as I wait yet again to hear anything....something....about Dylan's IEP. I feel like I shouldn't really be shocked that we hit this blib in the road but sometimes it does just shock me.  But with my next breath, it doesn't shock me one bit.

I have made it very clear that I will NOT under any circumstances agree to ANYTHING verbally...NOTHING.  I don't think that made some people very happy but it's not my job to make them happy.  It's my job to make sure that Dylan has services in place when school starts in the fall.  I have also made it clear that I am aware that I am more than in my rights to not send him to school until we have an IEP in place.  Again, I don't think that made some people very happy but it's the truth and I will NOT be sending him without a very clear IEP in place, officially.

What has been proposed to "them" is that we leave Dylan's IEP written the way that it is through the 1st quarter of school and then meet to re-evaluate if he needs the services that we wrote for at his IEP meeting 3 weeks ago. 

I am fine with this.  I don't like the fact that there will have to be an extra meeting, both for me and for the school staff involved who are already busy, but if it's what we need to do, we'll do it.

Stay tuned.....more to come, I'm sure! :-)

  1. The good thing about that is even if you have the meeting, once the IEP is signed you do not have to agree to any lesser changes.
