School

I was wondering if the pre-school would eventually call to see where S was. It had been almost 2 weeks. They left a message and I will call them back on Monday. We had our IEP meeting and it went as well as it could. The behavior specialist was clueless and said that sensory problems could turn into behavior problems and they could be treated the same way. When I talked about her feeding issues, she laughed an evil laugh and said, "Ohhhh, _______ knows how to deal with that." I could just read their minds, mom must be keeping her a baby and this kid is soooo manipulating her mother. I can't send her off into their land for her to be re-traumatized. The lady who was leading the meeting said somthing to the effect of, we don't really know S, so this is hard. Reallly?!?!?!?!? Why not ask her parents who know her best? They don't even think of consulting her parents or current teacher, are they that stupid? OMg, it's really beyond my comprehension. I need to make another phone call on Monday to see if we are eligible for a scholarship. If so, we would need to take it and run or risk being ineligible next year. This means we would need to go private forever as long as she needed special help.

Our NR is getting better. We are doing the program almost everyday. We rarely miss a day, but I must admit that not seeing progress is very discouraging. I am hoping summer will be easier to do it since we have no schedule. I am in such a panic to get her anxiety under control. I am going to get all of the attachment books to see if we can work on that end of things a little better. I will explore BIT more if this next visit shows progress. I just got an email from someone who did many more hours than is usually done and she has had wonderful results. One side note that is great news-I was convinced that S's tummy crawl would never change since she was so proficient at doing it her way. I really worked on her getting her toes involved in crawling and now she is doing it nearly 100% of the time. So I think that our belly crawling is almost finished. Never thought I would see that day!!!
