As a teacher of 10 years, I have been in on many IEP's. Sometimes there literally is just nothing we can do for the kid. We get creative and sometimes even create a "program" but they can be sad sometimes. This is an example of what we work for: mainstreaming in the least restrictive environment. It sounds like the Boy is on his way to that goal. Well crafted post in many ways. As a teacher of 10 years, I have been in on many IEP’s.

As a momma who once heard her child would probably not mainstream, but lived a different reality, I identify just a little bit with this. Congrats to the boy! What a moment for y'all!!!!!

One of my sons had an IEP and we found it very helpful in that it gave us a more individualized approach. I thought every kid should have one. After the first few years there was no sign that my son still needed it except for the fact that every year we could specified that he not be required to give oral reports. That little stipulation made him feel so much safer. I loved both pictures. One of my sons had an IEP and we found it very helpful in that it gave us a more individualized approach.
