Good News

I had a meeting on Monday with the resource teacher. She is new to the school, and was very nice. I gave her a brief history, and she didn't look at me like I had three heads. I can usually tell when they are just agreeing with me, I did not get this feeling from her. She anticipated my needs and offered suggestions before I asked. She seemed compassionate and understanding and knowledgeable about trauma and it's impact. I am amazed to see that they may have put things in place. I explained to her that S will think punishment for other kids is for her. The person I met with said that she will tell the teacher to point out when she is being good and make her the role model. Today she came home with a little paper that said she did a great job in Math today. Apparently she and another girl were also rewarded for being really good during nap time. I am hopeful about the future. Mistakes will happen, but at least we will avoid the known problems. I emailed the teacher asking for a meeting on Friday and didn't hear back, so I sent a note in today. She made a meeting time next week. We go for our final eval next month!
