IEP

Ian had a glowing report. It felt so good to hear positive news. We've had several years of the other kinds. They anticipate at Ian's current rate (if he can maintain) to only be needing speech therapy for one more year. YEA!! Occupational therapy isn't needed anymore! And only needing resource room for one more year and then they will start to mainstream him in the classroom. He is currently with the other kids in the grade work but needs 'smaller' groups to maintain. So we will see how it all goes. Here in Idaho, Title one and resource room have differant meanings than Washington State. Resource room is for the most severe kids, and then they move them up to Title One and then to the mainstream classroom. So Ian was able to move to title ONe this last semester so that was a good thing. The school is trying to be more on top of things so in the fall they won't have to wait for Ian to fall behind to help him. They are anticipating putting him in programs right away to help him so he can become mainstream. I am hoping that this helps. Seeing your child fall behind really sucks. So I guess, I am feeling really good about his Future. This summer we are planning a myriad of things to keep him from falling backwards. Wish us all Luck!!
