Yesterday was Gwyneth's yearly IEP meeting at school. She has been attending the 4-day-a-week, morning pre-K class at a nearby elementary school for almost a year now. I can't believe how much she has changed in a year. She is still not walking independently, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel for that milestone. Overall she just seems so grown-up to me; like a little kid and not my baby anymore.
IEP highlights:
She will start full day class - still just 4 days per week - on March 12. I am so glad that the teachers and therapists agreed she is ready (and that a spot opened up). I didn't ask about the possibility that she would be changing schools next year, but they said she could go all 5 days per week when school starts up again in August. I heard that another special needs pre-K class has been created at the elementary school we are now zoned for, so she might be moved over the summer.
PT - New goals include standing independently for 5 seconds, pulling herself up into her walker, and walking with only one hand held by an adult for 10 feet.
OT - New goals include drinking from a cup, holding a writing utensil with tripod grasp, and placing beads on a string.
Speech - Goals include stating her name and age when asked, answering simple questions accurately using 1-2 intelligible words, answering yes/no questions, and verbalizing her wants and needs using short sentences.
