Subject: ( ) OMG! I wish you could read this IEP!!!!!

I am about to fall over dead! I cannot believe the

rough draft I got today for ! I feel as if I

have started all over again!!!

I wish you all could read this " glowing " IEP!!!!! I've

had some really depressing IEP's-especially in the

PLOP area. This one is full of glowing reports.

still has problems with written language, but there is

a great improvement in just about everything since

elementary. I didn't think I'd ever read such a great

IEP! And on top of it, the case manager recommends an

advanced diploma!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in

TOTAL shock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has left a lot of questions for me to answer!!!

She has placed sticky notes all over the IEP draft

where I need to think about changes. She's left me

notes where I need to come up with answers to

questions and again, think about what I think about

that particular part of the IEP! I've never had one

like that! So I can be thinking ahead of time and know

what really needs to be addressed during the IEP

meeting. The case manager is going to call me tomorrow

to discuss the draft in case I have any questions!

So, I can say from experience, that I never thought

I'd have such a wonderful IEP draft! Or that he would

have such a glowing IEP!!!! We are down to 4

accomodations, and she said one wasn't even used this

year and wanted my thoughts on removing it.

So I am so excited! He'll be a freshman next year.

Same school, so transition won't be a problem until

the following year. He has had a great team of

teachers this year. They are so into the students.

There's been talk of states with good education for

autism. I wouldn't recommend our school system, but I

would highly recommend the team of teachers 's

had this year. They have been so great!!!!!!!! They

have helped him become very independent. One of the

teachers was quoted in the IEP as saying that

" sets a positive example for others, and diligent. "

So there is hope for all our of our kids. I never

would have thought I'd see what I have in this IEP!

Congrats! I am happy for you and your son. I on the other hand recieve paperwork

today that they did the IEP without me. And I immediately went to the school. My

was horriable and for them to do this without including me is unforgivable.

I don't think I've ever seen so many exclamation points on an autism list when

the

news was GOOD!!!!

I am so happy to hear how is doing, and how they want *your* input.

Keep up the good work--all of you.

Jackie,

LOL! I went back and read what I'd posted afterward

and boy were you right! One would almost think that

the key on the keyboard got stuck! LOL!

>

The ironic thing is that I haven't had to do much work

this year. It's all been taken care of at school! I

have had very little come home that I needed to help

him with. The case manager emailed me with all the

work assignments that were due, and all I had to do

was ask if he'd done them. And that wasn't very

often that I had to ask. His IEP even mentions that

his math, English and Civics homework were turned in

on time all year. It even stated that his work was

completed 100% in math (pre-algebra), and that he was

now helping the other students with their work!

Imagine that!

Thanks for the reply! I am still in shock from it all!

Thanks, !

He has worked very hard. He even has started

challenging himself to wanting A's in everything, so

he's trying hard to do that!

I am sorry that they school did that. I know how

frustrating that is. I have dealt with a lot of

stupidity and ignorance in the past until this year.

Why these schools/administration can't get their act

together is beyond me. Especially since all the rules

and regs are all there in black and white!

Amazing what an effective team & plan can do for our kids! Way to go!!!

One word of caution, don't reduce his supports as he's transitioning into high

school...They tried this when my son went to the middle school " He's doing so

well, he doesn't need any of these anymore " Well, the first month was hell, and

by the time we got the IEP reconveined, he was suspended from both bus and

school. When they recommended reductions again this year (as he's going to high

school next year) I reminded his super team of what had happend going to the

middle school, and they agreed that we'd be better leaving things as they are

for now & reconvening after the first quarter of high school was behind us.

Hugs & Peace,

*** did they send you a notice in advance of the meeting? They have to

invite you to attend the IEP meeting. I think they have to give you ten

days notice but I'm bad with timelines. They have to make every effort to

get the parents to attend the meeting. You can still request another one

to go over what they did if you want to change anything.
