We had difficult child's IEP meeting today. Due to the fact that we already did the BIP in April, the meeting went well.
A spec. ed teacher from the school he will be at next year was there which I was glad about so they have an idea of difficult child next year.
They did a good job of documenting his present level and we set what I think will be good goals.
The only sad part is realizing how really low academically he is. He is only at a first grade reading and math level. Writing is about the same. Even when he tries he gets exhausted so easily he can only get through about 5 math problems. It takes him so much effort to do any school work at all.
He'll be pulled out for reading and math next year but in the regular classroom for Science and Social Studies. I'm worried about difficult child and middle school. He so wants to fit in but the older he gets the more he notices how far behind others he is.
Over all, it was probably the easiest of his iep meetings in the last three years.
