I was able to sit in during the entire evaluation. I really appreciated that since it helped me see exactly what they did and it gave me tremendous insight and peace.
Speaking of peace, I felt as though prayers were answered and in a BIG WAY today. Once again, all staff were so accommodating of their time and were very through-oh.
So the next step is when they grade/review the evaluations and testing and then they contact us to set up the first IEP meeting.
My gut (or a little bird whispered to me) tells me that she is going to be eligible for OI (orthopedic impairment) and SDD (significant developmental delay). I also feel confident that her least restrictive environment and where she will gain her greatest potential will continue to be at First Christian Preschool. Grace has come a long way and due to those gains we feel that she will not need to be in the DDK or special needs preschool. Also, if the school or her teacher asks for help in teaching Grace something specific or in a different way the county will bring someone out to help in her classroom. Another option that I am in agreement with is the fact that Grace will have her therapies at Silver City after her preschool so it will not take away from all that she is doing there.What a win-win, you have got to love that.
I am still awaiting the scheduling for her PT and Speech with Children's off Mansell. They are just so busy and so far away from us. I hope and pray, hint hint, that Grace Marie will qualify for KBW so she can get therapy close to home about 5 miles away instead of 35 miles away.
Wow, what a wonderful day, I am so exhausted and ready to just chill with the girls for a bit before Chris comes home.
Thank you again for all of the prayers, they came and in an incredible way!!!
