Some Good News

This has been an incredibly busy 2 weeks.  We have had a bunch of doctor appointments, school visits and meetings.  Even though I am exhausted, I am excited to begin getting things into place for the 2009-2010 school year.  We still have IEP meetings to get through for both kids, but I am feeling very positive that things are going to work out.  Here are a few highlights from the last few weeks.
  • Waverly now has an FM system for use at school and home.  We are hoping that amplifying the sound will help her throughout her day.
  • Wavey's school has agreed to hire an assistant for Wavey within her preschool class.  We have been asking for this since September and I am thrilled.  I only wish it wouldn't have taken such a long time.
  • Oliver may be eligible to attend a summer preschool program through the school district.  He would be in a class with other kids who are hearing impaired (some have additional needs, like Oliver, too).
  • Wavey's Make-a-Wish trip is scheduled.  We will be heading to Disney World in October.  It is going to be an incredible trip!

I work in special education in the public schools and I am so glad to hear that the IEP process is really working for you to get Waverly and Oliver what they need. I know the process can be daunting but keep advocating for your children! School districts respect parents who are clear about what they need and can advocate in a respectful manner.
Keep it up!
Sending prayers your way.
