The IEP is a great opportunity to tell the world what she can do and your dreams for what she will soon be able to do and to tie down all those services so that she gets the best of everything :) And the Pacer (the Rifton) is indeed adorable... my classroom has two of them in use and they're a boring fire engine red, but are a favorite activity wise :) Let me know if there's anything I can do for you guys, I've written about a zillion IEPs and would love to be of use. Love to you and yours :)<br />-Lauren from Virginia<br />skeeter800@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-41556104602321546372010-01-23T13:59:05.555-08:002010-01-23T13:59:05.555-08:00Hope the IEP goes well.

I have read and reread her entry in Gifts 2-- each time with tears of understanding and joy. It is my favorite essay! She expresses so beautifully how all of us could benefit from a pair of rose colored glasses. I am the mother of five children, the youngest, of whom, is a three-year-old with DS. I believe the world would benefit greatly if there were more individuals with Down syndrome.<br /> <br />Thanks for sharing your story of beautiful Zoey.<br /><br />MaggieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874203691172168339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-83886128364803117802010-01-22T07:03:38.247-08:002010-01-22T07:03:38.247-08:00She is so beautiful.

Public school has been a very good experience for Matthew.<br />We are in a completely different place. We had Matthew's ARD yesterday to plan for next year. It will be Matthews last year of school. I know he must move ahead in life...but part of me wishes he could stay there forever. He is so happy and content. I couldn't ask for a more caring staff.<br />His case worker attended the meeting to discuss his options after he graduates. One is actually getting a job...completely supervised of course...but still I am feeling some VERY mixed emotions.<br /><br />I am so pleased to see how well Zoey is signing! That was so funny at the end of the video when she started telling you bye. Like...ok mom I'm done! lol She's so cute :)Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601933757848730296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4997156159638877174.post-69005725093113197552010-01-21T13:53:59.757-08:002010-01-21T13:53:59.757-08:00Best of luck with the IEP!
