DIRTY
and PHONE (puts all knuckles on cheek)
Also, the top two teeth next to the front teeth came in on the 22nd, so he missed the predicted 11-13month window by a few days ;)
And....I got a phone call from my Early Start director saying that we were getting services from the wrong county, and that the IFSP meeting would be the start of a handoff. Uh...ok...I knew we lived in an odd place- we live in one county, our school district straddles two counties, and our official Town is in the other county...but they called me- I didn't call them a year ago when this whole thing started. We liked our Early Start teacher, too! I am still thinking what else this means for Peter, but I do know that the meeting where I got Early Start to agree to pay some of Peter's school and therapy next year was all for naught. I have to start all over with a new county and new people. I am sure they are great, awesome providers, but I was hoping for some clarity about what was happening next year, and not a total upheaval!
PS I don't remember what exactly SELPA stands for, but it the service district for Early Start and Special Ed.
Yeah, a lot of these organizations mess up a lot of stuff - chances are, the new people you will now be working with will be good. Our experience so far has been pretty positive, but I do get the impression that there are tons of mix-ups. It doesn't help either that our state is going through even more cuts to staff and that makes you a little anxious as well.
