Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I could totally appreciate the IEP comments since we had ours today. Actually, this was the " reevaluation/IEP " that we had to do just to get his PDDNOS on the frigin IEP. I guess having documentation from 2 places, one including KKI Autism Center just wasn't enough. And even with all the new information some in the meeting still have the nerve to say " I am not saying he doesn't have PDD.... " Okay, so one of the Autism test they did showed that he was in the severely autistic range, the other test said " he probably is on the spectrum. " And yet they still want to question? Go figure. We did get the change from Primary : Mental Retardation, Secondary: Speech.Language Impairment to Primary: Multiple Disabilities (MR,PDDNOS) Secondary: Speech/Language Impairment. I particularly like the comment " I can already imagine you with duct tape over your mouth " because that is totally how I feel with our speech therapist. She grates on my nerves like no one else! I would love to have a hidden video camera and leave her alone with Jake in our house for even 1 hour. Then she would be qualified to tell me things about my child. This past 3 months we have started Jake at an outside therapy program for speech. Talk about a total difference! It is like night and day! This woman gets so much out of him and she even let me video a full session. It was awesome and Jake did great! Anyway, that is my venting for the night! Oh, and one other thing..... Jake was laying in our bed last night before he went to sleep. He actually fell asleep in our bed and we moved him which he never does. but anyway, he was just laying there so peaceful and I was laying beside him rubbing his head and face the way he likes. Do you ever just look at your sleeping child and get so overcome by emotion? It still amazes me how much you can love your children. When you watch that little sleeping child you just forget about all the other crap that life throws at us, or places directly in your hand! ha! I know my life is easier than some at the moment but I know we each have those moments. I guess it is when we don't have those moments when we have to worry. Hope everyone has a peaceful night full of sleeping children! Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
