Deep breath

Once again, I have worried myself SICK over nothing. Today's IEP meeting went very well. SMILE won't qualify for an aid in the classroom but the speech therapist and the occupational therapists can "push in" to the classroom (which, I know know, means they will spend time with him in the classroom a few times a month to better gauge his progress). I mentioned that I'm concerned about certain social aspects- I saw SMILE try to initiate dialogue during center time but none of his group mates responded to him- and they will start to address that as well. Soon, SMILE will be able to take  classroom friends with him to some speech sessions so that  they can get to know the little guy behind the strange looking behavior.

Funny thing is, after it was all done, I turned to the BSC who put me in a panic two weeks ago and said, "That went much better than I thought."  Her reply? "Oh, I know you were afraid that they would pull him out of the mainstream class, but I knew you had nothing to worry about."


!!!!!!!!WHAT?????
