POST IEP STRESS


The IEP the IEP where do we start  I think I’m gonna break it down into  point forms

  • ·      School was stunned to find out Peanut had Brains !
  • ·      School was stunned to find out there is no magic cure for Peanuts behaviours
  • ·      Peanuts Early intervention teacher is my new hero
  • ·      Too many things are making Peanut struggle at the moment( too many EAs coming and going, too many kids, noises in classroom  Rules to follow without visuals supports in place to make sure he understand them. 
  • ·      Even at EI Peanut is a pain in the arse
  • ·      Peanuts strength is reading people very quickly
  • ·      School is really making peanut do nothing!(work wise) 
  • ·      EI teacher is going to get MS teacher to visit (actually MS teachers suggestion)
  • ·      EI teacher and Therapy team will make up visuals for MS classroom and for Peanut
  • ·      Deputy wants full time Aid time for him funded which EI teacher will help application with
  • ·      School was interested to hear Peanut is playing them by acting as if he cant do a lot
  • ·      Psychologists said nothing !! at all, all meeting just wrote a lot down !!
  • ·      I felt supported by Peanuts EI teacher, She really does understand him which is lovely - She will be over seeing this MS transition
  • ·      We are implementing a time out spot for him at MS with a 3 minute timer  ( which is what we use at EI and home)
  • ·      Therapist will go in and work with Peanut and other students to help with social interactions and make sure hte teachers know how to use the Visuals schedules and social stories. 
  •   The EI teacher did said she was ready to yell and get agressive but she didn't have to so thats a win



Really I felt it went well , I felt I would let the academically goals slide a bit as he is getting them at EI and therapy at the moment ( his accidemic goals at EI are actually quite high they want him reading by mid year) and I felt it was better he settle into the class routine and let them get visuals in place before pushing him too far. We have set a meeting for early next term which is when I will be pushing for the academic goals.  
Peanuts EI IEP he achieved 80% of in 3 weeks again !!!  which is great and I’m honestly surprised how bright he really he I knew he was bright but lately I’ve seen some massive things from him that is beyond age appropriate for a kid that’s zoned out 70% of the time I think thats amazing.

Summary
Its all a waste of time  if no one follows through so now my chasing up job begins  I have put my name down for class helped on the 21st of March so I can see if things are in place.


 hearing all your sons problems with school and life is hard even though you know them already but I try to focus on some of the good points which were his intelligence level and his ability to make very detailed Pictures out of magnet shapes LOL 

Im positive the next meeting (if all is put in place) will be alot more positive.

 I am emotionally exhausted! I find these things take a real emotional strain on me and I take a while to recover..
