Let the
games begin....Never in a million years did I anticipate the game playing and
disrespect we were about to experience.
As we sit in the IEP meeting...As I preceded to give Cody's history and medication list and diagnosis's. The school Psychologist stops me and says you know it would've been helpful to provide this information a long time ago. I was appalled I had tried since August this was April!

Psychologist and special ed coordinator tell us that they think Cody has
Asperger's.
My husband and I didn't know what we were doing going into all of this. We were able to get a very poorly constructed IEP with no behavior plan. This got us through the rest of the school year (1 month left).
We still were not satisfied, so I did some research(I have become very good at it). I have given myself a degree in Google University.....

I found an advocate that we consulted
with over the summer she gave us a name of a place to have Cody tested for
Autism. We took it upon ourselves to get Cody tested. It was a very expensive
test. We made a total of 5 trips 75 miles away.
I began in late July trying to make contact to the school, to share the test results and request another IEP meeting. I was told that I needed to wait till the school year started. I was also informed at that time that the special ed coordinator and psychologist were no longer with the school district.
I received a call from the new coordinator. I shared a bit of the information with him and let him know that we were very eager to move forward and get services and Occupational Therapy (OT) going for him. A meeting was set up. We brought with us the advocate that we found. We were so excited and ready for a new start for Cody. Boy were we ever slapped in the face at that meeting. Things were unbelievable in the meeting. We were shocked at the comments that were said.
Over the next 3 years we would come to be very familiar with the special ed coordinator saying numerous times in the meetings "There is nothing wrong with him"!
