A great day

Post Reply New Topic

First, I was anxious all weekend because I didn't know where today's 9am IEP meeting was to take place for my DS19mos. So, I took a stab at it and showed up early to the agency that manages my son's case, instead of at the Early Intervention site. Lucky for me, I was right! SCORE ONE!

Second, my son's IEP went great! He got approved for all services we asked for: (a) increase from 5 hrs Special Instruction to 15 hrs ABA which we could increase to 20 hrs if we ask for it, (b) increase from 2x/wk Speech Therapy to 4x/wk Speech Therapy, (c) added Occupational Therapy 2x/wk, (d) added Physical Therapy 2x/wk, (e) added Social Worker to talk to me 2x/month for support. I am ecstatic! The lady approving my services I think felt bad for me for having 2 kids on the spectrum, and we bonded over the fact that I have AS because she has a grown daughter who has AS. Of course I wrote down this (WP) website for her daughter to check out, if she hasn't already! SCORE TWO!

Third, my lost earring was found at the dentist office I went to yesterday. I was very sad about it as it was given to me by my deceased father-in-law as a wedding gift. I was certain that I had lost it on the street somewhere and it was gone forever, but I called the office just to cover all bases, and lo and behold! They found it! I sent them a gift basket thanking them! SCORE ONE HUNDRED AND THREE!

Given it has been such a great day, I splurged on Lotto. Let's hope I win something! Keep those lucky vibes coming! LOL

thats great! Its always wonderful when you get what you ask for at meeting and then some! EI is usually good like that: And doubly great that you found your earring!

good luck with lotto

Awesome!
