Well, this is the first time I've cried in an IEP meeting. I want to almost every time but I never let myself, I am intent on playing the part of the confident mother who is a former teacher, who is educated and informed, and who is very capable of making rational decisions. But today it was just hard, this class I've put him in is not a good fit alnd I feel like it's my fault for making a bad decision, for not knowing better from the beginning, or investigating all the options. I have to believe that the Lord has been in control of all of that, it's just hard for me not to feel personally responsible. What they are suggesting for him is a Self Contained classroom for EC preschoolers that includes a broad range of children, and also time with mainstreamed kids, too, but it would be at a different school. I can't disagree with their recommendations but I'm sick to my stomach at the idea of changing things for him again. Anyway, I haven't made any decisions yet, I have to go observe this other school and go from there. The team meets again in 2 weeks to write up the formal IEP based on what Eric and I have decided to do. Thanks for your prayers in the meantime.
