The meeting

[Guest guest]

Well, I had my meeting. came with me. He was just infuriated but

for the most part silent.

The school will come back to me on Nov 14th to extend a " planned

appropriate educational response " . I'm tired of this. They're trying to

avoid mediation. I've decided that I can't go through due process. I'm

too emotionally fatigued. I will stop at mediation.

They seem hell-bent on NOT giving Sophie a group OT and claiming her

class is " overwhelming " her. They want to make more of a sensory diet

for her.

All well and good, but WHO WILL IMPLIMENT IT??? There are not enough

aides, thus my request for a 1:1.

And she's self injuring and just not focused. Her self contained class

has 14 kids!!!! She's LOST!

An Autistic child with severe sensory problems vs. A school district

with budget cuts. What do YOU think will win out?

At this point, I just pray for the best to be done for Sophie. I'm

bringing my advocate on Nov 14th. Maybe she can help.
