Kindergarten’s Getting the Green Light
After another grueling IEP meeting with our district I think the phrase our administrator used was, “It’s with great pleasure that we extend an invitation for Aiden to attend a general ed kindergarten class for the 2008-2009 school year.”
The room cheered and my eyes filled up with tears. Two years ago, after our diagnosis of Autism we said, “What do we have to do to make sure our son catches up and attends a general ed kindergarten?” Exactly what we had done. Two years of jumping through state and medical professional bull shit and red tape, fighting and arguing with a school district to take us seriously, therapist after therapist until we got just the right one, worrying and crying over how it’s all going to get done and paid for. FINALLY – Some fantastic relief and great celebration for ALL OF OUR HARD WORK! Especially, Aiden!
Now I believe we have inherited a whole new slew of worries but, we’re going to first bask in the joy and celebrate this great accomplishment.
That is such amazingly fantastic news!
Way to go little one!
