For many years I studied special education and then served many more as an autistic support teacher. I held so many IEP meetings with parents and wrote so many goals. Today, the tables were turned and I was the parent as an evaluation and goal plan were written for my child. I must admit it was strange. Most people reading this blog know of the troubles Tyler has had. He was approved today for services because of his severe expressive speech delay. We were happy to see he scored very well in all other areas (he literally scored off the test charts for problem solving!) and are hopeful that this is going to be just what he needs for his speech to really take off. We can't wait to learn what that little guy is thinking!!
