You are honest and serious and funny and a wonderful parent. God bless you for looking at life as a journey and knowing you are the MOM and you rule! Do not ever wonder for a moment if your daughter is getting the best. She is, and you should write a book, or teach other parents how to not freak out about a disability. We all question who we are and where we are going. Everyone in this world is gifted in one way or another! Thank you for your words!

What I have is the knowledge I’ve gained from other parents and a husband who is an lawyer, but he isn’t our lawyer. It helps, but not enough. We’ve had a bad school year with a nearly wasted final semester.

High school is big scary place compared to a nice little montessori school that we’ve been used to.

(That was the principal.) The lawyer has come ever since and since we have one, the district sends one, too. Their lawyer has never said a word in all the years of meetings and I’m quite sure is not paying attention. But ours is — she’s been really helpful in terms of wording IEPs, etc. And getting that aide.

Handwriting? Meh. Who needs it? She’s a reader, though! Reading at grade level, kick ass! A girl who knows the important things in life. Good job, Amy :)

Too bad Ray burst your bubble, that was a good wave and you should have ridden it as far as it would take you.

I was at the library just yesterday looking for AWIT for my 5th grader, not sure if he would enjoy it but thought it was worth a try. It was checked out.
