Relief
Thank you so much for your support everyone. Andrew's IEP meeting went really really well today and I am thrilled to report he has qualified for services through the Committee for Special Education. He is going to continue receiving the services he already has and they are going to be testing his "pragmatic language skills" too (yes, that is wiki link and wiki isn't always accurate, but if you want to find out more, check it out). I can't tell you how relieved I feel to finally have documents in my hand say that school has to help him and that he won't be brushed under the rug. *sigh* such relief.

As the parent of a child with special needs, you have to be the squeaky wheel. Good for you.
in total agreement - SUCH a relief! you can exhale now, and drop your shoulders below the level of your ears...
Yay for you (and Andrew), Kerry. I know what a relief that is.
We went thru this with our son also. He has ADD/ADHD.........the American Disability Act covers your son.......they HAVE to help.
It's amazing that, like here in California, parents STILL have to fight to get what is LEGALLY required by schools to provide for children in special circumstances.
It's hard to believe the schools still get away it on a regular basis. Good grief!
