Emergency IEP Meeting

As I head in for Class Room Observation and then to an Emergency IEP Meeting I am making sure all of my i's are dotted and t's are crossed. I am pissed that they haven't implemented anything from my son's IEP from last year that is suppose to run through January 2010. I don't even think that the teacher read his IEP. Being an inclusion class teacher I feel that this is a necessary task before the school year starts.

A brief synopsis...My son was diagnosed with ADHD the previous school year and over the summer was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism. WOW it makes all the sense in the world. He has the same tendencies that my brother had.

So, I've spent the majority of the day reviewing his IEP and the disability student's rights packet.

It is hard when they continually say that they try to bring him back from a meltdown. Well my thought is why are they causing the meltdown in the first place. If they seem to know what triggers it why are they antagonizing him and causing the meltdown in the first place. Why not be proactive rather than reactive and then end up calling me to come and pick him up. They are damaging his self esteem.

I guess we will see what happens during my in class observation and the meeting in the afternoon.

More to follow tomorrow
