Nathan's IEP
Nathan's teacher Friday told me that his IEP (annual education goals for an individual with disability) needed to be done by today. She had misread his paperwork and thought we had a whole month before we had to do it. She was so apologetic but I was okay with the short notice so we plunged ahead.
Nathan is doing very, very well. His teacher feels that next year he can continue with his three-day a week schedule in a regular special-ed classroom with the goal that he be moved into a "reverse" class the following year. This kind of class would be a more "normal" class in preparation for sending him to a mainstream kindergarten class.
Nathan has reached many of his goals. Both his teacher and the administrator meeting with us were impressed with how far Nathan has come in the 18 months he's been at the school.
So new goals in the school year are to increase his speech and receptive response, potty training, writing skills, imaginary play, etc. But they've noticed a great deal of progress in all of these areas. He's still not equal to his physical age in development but he's much closer and not as far behind as he was so we're all very pleased.
