Why I Love My Kids’ School

Yesterday, we had what I’m calling a “not-quite-IEP” meeting for L, to deal with some of his behaviors.  The meeting included the school psychologist, his primary teacher, his resource teacher, his therapist and myself.

Over and over again, I was struck by how much this group LOVES my boy.  Their willingness to think outside the box, make sacrifices, answer every question I had, fill out assessments – just boggles my mind.

Because usually, when I hear about schools and special needs kids, I don’t hear good stuff.  I hear about resistance and battles, not participation and cooperation.

I left knowing we had a good plan in place that won’t just help manage L’s behaviors, but will him him heal.  I left knowing more information about my son, that will help us with him at home.

But mostly, I left grateful.  I love this school!
