Yes - because yesterday we had one!
For one of the first times in YEARS my son has had an easy breezy in and out IEP meeting. So much so, that I came home and thought - ok, what am I missing here? Should I have pushed for changes? Then I start to overthink things.
We love our teacher this year and that makes such a world of difference. I wish we could have her again next year but he'll be entering the 3-4 grade class.. movin' on up. Service levels for OT, PT, Speech will all remain the same with no increases or decreases but it looks like graduation from PT will be sometime next year.
The worst our problems has to do with the fact that my son has picked up a few words in his vocabulary of the 'colorful' nature. I fess up, some of them he has picked up from me but most I believe are from Youtube which he loves too much. Most of the time the videos he watches are completely innocent but occasionally we catch him with one that he should not be watching at all. It is time to put the blocking software back on the computer which will create meltdowns of its own. The last time we put it on the computer we caught Alex trying to google how to turn it off (he was 7 at the time) - yeah... scary smart.

Youtube, the great entertainer and the great corrupter. I found some supposedly child-friendly version but it was more for the preschool age set.
That Alex is such a smart one! So glad the IEP went well!
Yay on the easy IEP! As for You Tube, we also have many issues with that. Fortunately Nigel is at a point where he is motivated by consequences - if he says something he shouldn't say, his internet privileges are revoked for a few days. Usually works for us.
Glad the IEP went so well. But ooooh! Scary on the googling stuff. Keep that computer time monitored!
good news on the IEP. When I dropped off Matt yesterday the teacher asked me what time of the day worked best for Matt's IEP. I asked what month and he said May. I have some time still.
You tube is a nono here.
When I catch them it's big prrrroblems!
We too have the experience that the success of a schoolyear is very teacher related.
