Easy peasy and really nice.
I brought doughnuts. The team was sensitive and efficient. Oliver was there for most of it, advocating for himself, somewhat shyly, but smiling his beautiful smile throughout.
I'm grateful for this school that he goes to -- it's not perfect, but it's pretty damn great, and I look forward to continued improvement for Oliver's experience with fingers crossed.
I'm feeling drained in general, though, for various reasons. If you'd like advice on IEPs or you're a reader that has a child with disabilities and new to it all, please feel free to email me. And don't read the sentence that follows this one.
Tomorrow is Sophie's IEP which is an entirely different ball game. For that, the drinking begins now. (See above photo).
Ha! I have a 30-day IEP tomorrow at C's new school, I'm drinking with you in spirit. It has not been the greatest 30 days.
ReplyDeleteSalut. To your health. And to Sophie's.
ReplyDeleteBottoms up.
ReplyDeleteI say bring some pot brownies to Sophie's IEP meeting tomorrow. You just may get everything you want!
ReplyDeleteYou are so wise in these ways.
ReplyDeleteOliver seems like such a sweet sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. I'll be there in spirit.
Man, good luck tomorrow. I'll make you a drink.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. Glad today's meeting was easy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad our kids go to the same school as Oliver. We had Carmen's 3-year IEP meeting yesterday. Allen & I both agreed it was the best IEP meeting we've had and we echo your sentiments about the school....it's not without its flaws, but the dedicated and caring staff make up for most shortcomings.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did the Manhattan Allen served you this summer inspire the photo??
I've been obsessed with bourbon and those cherries ever since, Craig!
DeleteSo glad Oliver's new school is working out.
ReplyDeleteWhat Deana said.
ReplyDeleteWe're with you - - in many ways.
ReplyDeleteTis the season....for IEP's!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear Oliver's went well...wishing you much success with Sophie's too.
