What pissed me off was this statement under adaptive skills: "She needs asssitance with opening certain packages at lunch and frequently gets food on her face and clothes."<br /><br />Are you kidding me...what is the purpose for even including this and please look around the lunch room. <br /><br />She is reading!!! Which many of her peers that will be entering first grade next year aren't. <br /><br />There were many other things but that was the one that just sent me over the edge!Davanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11404273.post-40538951321806609592009-04-22T15:52:00.000-07:002009-04-22T15:52:00.000-07:00I hope you meeting went well.

My daughter is 19,...OH I KNOW YOUR LIFE SO WELL !!!<br />My daughter is 19,and for 17 of those years I have been dealing with schools , she also went to the Meyer's center (loved that place)I was told once by one of those school docs that Jessica was depressed..LOL if you knew my daughter that is like saying I am thin LOL..(size30)BUT YOU have to remember this is how the schools get funding for our kids, The kids have to fit some special mold so the school gets thier big bucks to pay for those programs.I use to leave IEP's in tears.BUT NOW I jump though the hoops and play the game and Jessica gets what she needs.I hope your son gets to go to reg 4K and get them to mainstream as much as you can. IT helped Jessica more then anything. now she takes GYM and English and computers with the other kids in junior year.GOOD LUCK and always remember you are not alone!!!!tammy frankshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071571414215186159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11404273.post-75017537882481468812009-04-21T19:11:00.000-07:002009-04-21T19:11:00.000-07:00Your child is creative, eager to learn and loving....Your child is creative, eager to learn and loving. He finds the wonder in everything, He loves his sister, his parents, and is surrounded by family and friends who love him. He surprises people daily with what he knows and what he can do. <br /><br />Those are just a few of the ways I can describe a little boy who is an angel to so many. Those are the things you read and base his development and education on. Not the words of someone who measures based on a few hours and questions on a page. <br /><br />He is an angel and is capable of things beyond our comprehension.amy jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853746440920752386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11404273.post-37202784960660720292009-04-21T18:51:00.000-07:002009-04-21T18:51:00.000-07:00Well, that just goes to show how completely ridicu...Well, that just goes to show how completely ridiculous the whole thing is.<br /><br />You should be pissed off. We all should be. The entire process smacks of judgment and one-sidedness and bureaucracy. I wonder if these people have ever heard the saying "the whole is more than the sum of its parts"?<br /><br />Ryan deserves better. Good luck tomorrow.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340382856096365272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11404273.post-34581739420743778322009-04-21T17:54:00.000-07:002009-04-21T17:54:00.000-07:00We just went though AnnaKate's preschool evaluatio...We just went though AnnaKate's preschool evaluation stuff even though we are staying at the Meyer Center. I felt the same way...like I was jumping through hoops. <br /><br />We all know our children and we know deep in our hearts what they can and can't do. But we don't dwell on the can'ts and we move ahead. An IEP seems to dwell on the negative and I just dismiss them.<br /><br />KellyKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496041823524106265noreply@blogger.com
