It's That Time of Year Again....
Yep, it's IEP meeting time. What's an IEP, you ask? It's an Individualized Education Program. Bee has one, as he has a speech/language delay, and sensory issues. Oh, and gross/fine motor skills delays. So tomorrow morn, we'll gather 'round the table and review his old IEP, and discuss his goals for the upcoming year. At least I think that's what's going to happen.
You see, last year was a blur. We had just moved to the area, and we thought, at that time, we were only dealing with a speech/language delay. So his IEP meeting was with a speech therapist, and his preschool teacher. We reviewed his speech assessment, his teacher made some goals, I agreed with them, signed a bunch of papers, and Bee started school the following Monday. This time around, Bee's preschool teacher will be there. As will an administrator, a psychologist, and an adapted PE specialist. Assessments will be reviewed. Goals will be reviewed and revised, and/or new ones will be created. Experts will be heard. Bee's parents will probably be overwhelmed. Can you tell I'm a bit nervous? ***Edited to add: The IEP meeting was GREAT! I really shouldn't be so surprised - we haven't had any issues with the district thus far; in fact, everything has always been very positive. We are just so fortunate to have a team of people who all want the best for Bee, like we do! I'm so happy!!!!! 1 comments from 1 users
