Guest guest Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Good Evening Everyone, 's re-evaluation/IEP meeting is coming up, plus an augmentative communication reeval. The case manager (who is a child psychologist) interviewed me today for input for the Vineland diagnostic test, one of the many pieces of the puzzle that we will discuss at these upcoming meetings. I walked away from today's interview feeling very sad- I was actually not expecting to be at all, considering 's progress, albeit very gradual, but he is making his strides. He still does not know his letters, numbers- just starting to show recognition of A/B and 1/2 through ABA programming, but not really motivated. .. He will be 8 yrs. old on 8/25 and I thought he would have recognized more of letters and #s by now. I wonder if I have realistic expectations......is it just more time that is needed or is it possibly 's reality he will not be able to learn even basic academics? If this is ultimately the case, I would be OK- I just wonder if there is anything else we could be doing or is it just patience? was a very late walker (5 yrs.), limited fine motor skills- he is just scribbling over this past year, loves music/water, beginning to " socialize " with others by looking at them, waving, and is adorably stubborn and can be extremely difficult to motivate. If there is anyone out there who is or has been in a similar situation, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for reading and " listening " .
