We finally have a date for Evan's transistion meeting, Thursday September 27, 2007. I am happy to finally have this happen. Those of you outside of this special needs world may not know what this is so I will explain how the system works.
Special needs children are serviced by the Sacramento County office of Education Infant development program from birth to age three. After three everything is transferred to the school district. So first you have a transistion meeting to talk about what will happen with therapy, preschool etc. once the child turns three. The next and most important meeting is the IEP(individual education program) which is where everything is written down and the parents and school district agree to and sign. (and hopefully the district follows through).
Evan is going to be enrolled in a special ed communication based preschool which is what he needs. All of these meetings need to be done by the time the child is 3yrs old. Evan will be 3 in 5 weeks so I am anxious to get everything in order, so he can start preschool.
I will keep you posted as to how these meetings go.
