First of all, I had no idea so many people would be there! There were 10, including myself, my husband, and Samantha. They determined that it would be in Sammi's best interest to receive services through the school system, in particular, speech and OT. However, I didn't realize that they wouldn't be determining whether or not she'd be going to school for the full program, or just for speech and OT. That determination comes at the IEP meeting later this month. They do all know that we're really pushing for it, and said that it's pretty certain that that's what they'll decide on at her IEP meeting. I think she'll benefit so much socially and developmentally if she's in school every day for 5 hours. The teacher adores her, and she's very taken with him as well, so we're already off to a great start!
