A big change

A few months after my trip into a therapy free world, I had an IEP meeting in late May after a reevaluation of Batman's gross and fine motor skills and his academic skills.
The upshot was that he had core muscle deficits that were keeping him from progressing with printing and that he'd progressed so little in reading that he'd need to go into the resource room for it. He would also need to go in for Math, not because he didn't understand it but because he could not print quickly enough to keep up with the work in class.
I listened to everything and agreed to it all. And then I went home and thought, "I can't do this anymore." A week later I sent the District office my Declaration of Intent to Homeschool.
I'll write a more complete account of this soon. I will be gussying up the look of this blog and I will finally force myself to become more proficient with downloading pictures. I'll also be shifting the emphasis to homeschooling as well as autism. More to come soon, I promise!
