My son's IEP Meeting (or as they call it in Texas, an ARD Meeting) is next week. Going through all of this during the holiday season has inspired me to write a Christmas carol about the whole IEP process we have gone through since the school year began. I think I will print this out and hand out to all the team members as a parting gift, once we hash out the details of just how special my son and his needs are. You know, since this is happing at Christmas and all.
