Today we had Liv's IEP.. I was scared. Liv did not go to bed until 1:30 last night & my anxiety did not let me sleep well anyway.
I have been so nervous about this IEP. The school system was pushing their school based program. Which might be great for some kids
but, I knew the program we found for Liv was so much better for her. We had so many blessings along the way. We where put in touch with a
wonderful advocate that helped us navigate this. We got with one of the best programs which typically had a waitlist of months & months that was a blessing in itself. And, today I thought the IEP was going south & the district would hold it's position on their program. Until the last 30 minutes & it all turned around. Long story short we got what we needed for Liv. Things finally happened & it all came together as if it where divine intervention. Even our advocate half way through the meeting passed a note to me saying that she was going to dig in as it was not going well. Thankfully, we where all quiet at the right time & it turned around. I really do not know what happened. And, I don't know what the heck happened off line, but something did. Whatever it was we are thankful. It was a long and tedious wait with multiple evals & BS along the way. Liv will get this facet of help that she needs & that is what I am thankful for. I wish you all the same blessings in whatever you feel is best for your kid. I thank all those who had a part in this outcome.
