IEP Meeting

This week we had Hannah's IEP meeting to determine her placement and goals for the year. Sometimes IEPs can get very emotional and upsetting to the family, but I am happy to report that Hannah's IEP was very smooth and happy. She will go to Head Elementary School's preschool program which is where we wanted her to go. All of the goals that I would have gotten ugly about if they were not included were already written prior to us getting there. Her goals are a nice mix of things I think she will accomplish easily and some that will be a challenge. Her teacher is young but seems very nice and excited to have Hannah. I am going to bring Hannah to class next week so that she can meet her teacher and see where she is going to go. Hannah will start the Tuesday after Labor day and will go to school 4 days a week. I decided to keep her out of school one day a week to do private therapy. Please remember us in prayer on Hannah's first day because I know I will be very emotional. I am excited about all the things she is going to learn, but it is hard to trust my nonverbal 3 yr old (by then) to stranger. Thank you for always remembering Hannah and our family in your prayers. They have sustained us through all of this.
