I agree, if a person on the team is not a right fit, bye, bye -gonzie they need to be, like yesterday! This road indeed needs to be walked with those who look optimistically 5 steps ahead of us navigating us there so we as parents can attend to the step we are on and feel confident that our team has the road map ahead firmly and confidently in their hands.<br /><br />...and the school options, I love that you have 5 options, I love that you are having a glimpse right now of a placement that feels good, and that you are feeling you are amongst your "peeps". There is something so comforting in that! I just sat in an IEP meeting where I was the ONLY ONE throwing out schooling options for Reid and REFUSED to sign the box agreeing to their placement, which I feel may limit him, maybe-maybe not, but I LOVE that you have options and will figure out just the right fit. You know what I l would ove....?? Talking about options and rejoicing in the fact that our 2 kiddos are heading off to kindergarten next year, over coffee, like this month ;).

Also happy to hear that you've found such a great possibility for school for next year - it lets you get a bit more excited about it and maybe a little less apprehensive. And you still have 4 other schools you can compare it to before deciding which one is "the one".
