IEP

Lars' IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting yesterday went very well. His Perkins team is extraordinary in every way, and did an absolutely beautiful job. The town has agreed to extending his days at school until 2:30, so that should start within a couple weeks. Mama is happy! Onward.

updates

Haven't written about the bone scan results because I don't have them all. I placed several calls to ortho & received a message saying the good news was no stress fractures. I called back & said I would also like to hear about the hip bone & how things are going with its formation, etc. I'll call again this week.

In other Lars-related news, he's doing better at school with tolerating circle time. We've come up with some strategies like getting him time out of his wheelchair & lying down stretching before circle, sitting in his "long sitter" at circle, etc. He's loving PT & roughhousing; used to fuss through PT, but no more.

IEP meeting is this Wednesday. I went through the whole thing with his teacher last week, and have every reason to believe the meeting will go well, and that Lars will soon transition into full days at school. He's ready, and generally the 3 & 4 year-olds go 8:30 - 12:30 and the 5 & 6 year-olds go 8:30 - 2:30. Fingers crossed.
