School update

This is a bit late in coming but things have been crazy trying to figure out. Airen continues to have 3 different individuals working with him during the day. In the mornings it rotates between two aides and in the afternoon there is only one individual. At least in the afternoons when he seems to have the most difficulties he is with one person. On October 28th the IEP team will be sitting down for a meeting. All areas need to get on the same page with what actual paperwork says and what services need to be done. For the record our district's special ed program is NOT in compliance with the state board of education. I know speech is adding a few goals and will be doing two days a week speech. We are waiting to find out about OT. The actual reports indicate OT services but right now he's just on a weekly consultation. I am hopeful he'll be receiving full services after the meeting.

We had parent teacher conferences a few weeks ago. Airen's teacher said Airen is a ''sponge''. Pretty much everything she teaches him he remembers. Airen has been sounding words out everywhere and is anxious to start reading. He is also excited about math. He is asking all kinds of what does this and this equal. Very exciting!!! School also has requested we send Airen big boy undies and they are going to start putting him in them during the day. The first day he did well at school but came home and wet himself. The next day was early release and he refused the undies. The other days I am ''told'' he stayed dried and went on the potty. I get the potty log this week and started looking over it. Well the poor kid isn't going potty at school except first thing in the morning. He then rushes in the door and goes potty here. Then last week he had an accident at school and that was all it took for him to request his pull ups again. So much for school trying to help. I told the teacher and his case worker that we can try it but I am pretty positive he will wet himself once and get embarrassed and that is the end of potty. Sure enough. Since he had his accident at school he's pretty much refused going on the potty---urghhh!!! Starting to get really frustrated with this whole potty training thing.
