The IEP is upcoming

On Wednesday, Rob and I have an IEP meeting for Ben and we're seriously thinking about replacing him. I think he needs to be in a different environment and so does Rob. The Lincoln Center isn't doing anything for him and he's in a class with 7 soon to be 8 special needs kids, mostly autistic, and because he's relatively happy and compliant, he isn't being pushed in the manner we would like. So I've been thinking about IEPs a lot lately, and IDEA law, and the "Best Practices for teaching Children with Autism". Stuff I never thought I would have to pay attention to, but now it's vital to Ben's progress. Sheesh!
