IEP Pending

Today is the day!  At 1 p.m. despite the 2 hour delay and the snow day yesterday, we will all be gathering at the McGovern School and getting ready to find out what they are offering us for services.  I have reviewed all 5 reports, gone through them, organized them in a new ARC notebook (LOVE)  and am ready to see what they are offering.

It's difficult to say what we are heading into, while some reports were very upfront about their recommendations "15 hours ABA a week, speech, and at least half day integrated preschool".  Others were very vague, "picture icons should be placed around the home for Grayson to use for additional help to communicate"   This meeting could be headed in any direction, we have our plans in place.  Our wants and desires are clear in our mind and nothing will be signed without us taking time as a family and seeing what we feel works best for him. 

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support. This has been an incredibly rough month and a half.  We have a lot going on both good and bad, these assessments have been incredibly stressful for me, especially as I haven't met any of the people who will be sitting on the other side of the table. Wally has been an incredible support for both of us, I am so glad he was home (despite the cause) because I know every step has been handled the way I would of wanted to do it myself. 

We are surrounded by amazing friends and family, some of which have to listen to our dramas all the time while having their own going on.  Thank you to those who help to bring out the best in my child by just being in his life.  Keep us in your thoughts and prayers today as we head into the fray, and remember we do it all for this little man.
