Well our meeting today with Austin's IEP team went over by an hour, although that was needed. So thankful for our advocate Larry Davis. He was able to put into words what we have been trying to say for a long time. Austin is not thriving in this school setting and it needs to be reevaluated. No matter how much I try to keep the tears back I can't seem to hold them in during these meetings. I just want to say to the team, if this was your child what would you be doing? We want what is best for our son and that may not be in this school. Don't get me wrong they are trying and they have tried but it isn't working for him. Our daughter will be there next year and for her the school will be great. For Austin it is like walking into a combat zone, he can't block out all of the sensory inputs and concentrate on his work. I think that they are finally starting to see this. Very small baby steps forward. We have another meeting on the 1st of December to discuss evaluation options and what needs to be done for Austin. I am praying that we can all come together to find a fit for him so that he can start being proud of himself again.
