First we had to get through the fasting blood test.... didn't go bad except they couldn't find the order but the lab tech was great so she took extra so he would not have to go thru it again.
then I grabbed him some food on the way to the school. We met his Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) worker and the new coordinator for the Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) workers. Q brought his galaxy player and I let him use it the whole time. She got a girl to take us around who clearly was not thrilled! But she did ok... Q asked who was in this room and that room... then when we got to the room he would be in the one kid didn't want us in there so we didn't go in and the other side (the kid Q knew from elementary) was in the front entry hall to their rooms with two adults while he was melting down. Q did look all around the room and as we walked around little by little he started stepping on my feet, grabbing my arm and pinching and finally Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) just asked him if he wanted to go for a walk. He then took Q for a treat somewhere and when he got back Q went outside and Integrated Listening Systems (ILS) told me that Q asked:
1. Do you think I was nervous and shy?
2. Do you think it would have been much worse if I didn't bring my galaxy player?
3. Do you think you can come with me when I go to the high school because that is where I am going to go to school.,
He told me before we got there that even if he liked it he was not going there so I can just forget it.
All in all, being so nervous and upset he really held it together. It was not as chaotic as last time, but they have a new student starting Mon so now there will already be three.
Just dont know. Not my first choice for him at all. good to have understanding adults (but they could be putting on a nice face for when we are there of course) but still not thrilled that there are so many with those challenges in one place.
He is outside (and it is COLD) riding his scooter...the three others from middle school are outside too so hopefully he will not blow it and lose outside time again. We go to the audiologist to order his auditory trainer today.... HE usually does ok for that kind of thing.
Next wed is the IEP meeting following the ugly one....
Thanks for asking, still not clear in my mind but finishing the paper work for the private school so I can check it out too.
