So again, thanks to those professionals who dedicate their time, energy, creativity, and intellect to helping out some very difficult and complicated children.
I just got my daughter's draft IEP in advance of our annual meeting next week. I'm so giddy to see her amazing progress (standard scores moving from 30th percentile to the 99.9 percentile), I can't really focus today. There's still so much more to do for these complicated kids. But for today, I'd like to extend an amazing THANK YOU to all intervention specialists, gifted teachers, and general education teachers that can look at the strengths and weaknesses of our children, and help them truly take off. It has been a long, difficult journey from "your kid is just too immature," to "your kid is so smart, she's just lazy," to "she's got a disability, reconsider your goals for your child," to "get out of this kid's way, she's going to take over."
So again, thanks to those professionals who dedicate their time, energy, creativity, and intellect to helping out some very difficult and complicated children.
