,

That is awesome! I am so happy for jacob and so proud of you for getting him

into a regular classroom! Where do you live again, to be soooo revolutionary?

I also admire the way you spoke to the teacher and reasurred her. Maybe give

her a copy of Teaching Reading to Children with Down Syndrome and any fact

sheets from the computer you can. I feel that when the teachers are not

comfortable, i try to give them something to read so they can become familiar.

Hey- great news- go and celebrate!

We had 's ARD today. It went very well. He will be in a 1st grade class,

with pull-outs for Edmark Reading for 30 minutes and Counter Math for 30

minutes. The rest of the time in the reg ed classroom.

He will still have a one on one aid. The only difference will be that she will

get training on how to modify work, chart the IEP goals and on how to implement

the behavior plan they are going to work up. She will also be under the direct

supervision of the spe ed teacher and will have to answer to her on s

progress. This is a good thing because the last couple of years the spe ed

teacher didn't get as involved as I would have liked, and she runs a tight ship

with her aides. So I hope this will be a good thing for .

He will continue to get 3/30 minute speech sessions and one 30 minute session

with the OT each week.

is the very first child to be included in this school, and we have a new

teacher lined up for 1st grade. Today's meeting was the first time I had a

chance to meet her. She sat quietly through the whole drawn out process of the

meeting, when it came to my turn and I finished talking about what I had written

down, I said that I just wanted to make sure that she thought of has one

of her students, that he be included in everything the class is doing, and not

think of him any differently than any of her other students. I also told her

that she looked scared to death! And she laughed, and said her biggest worry was

his behavior, she hadn't had really had any contact with him. So they have it

set up for her and the spec ed teacher to observe in his class as well as

the spec ed teacher observing the 1st class to get ideas on modifications and

her routine. When I pointed out how much help the aide would be to her and the

class, as well as how much support she would have from me and the administration

she seemed to relax. I have to give so much credit to this school for being

willing to support 's education in an inclusive environment, especially

considering they have NEVER done it before came along.

I feel like a very lucky mom tonight : )
