Kauchana & Derric (pt. 1)

This will be a two part posting probably, mostly since I have stuff that will be still on hold until tomorrow.

Friday I had an IEP meeting for Kauchana. Kevin was able to make it along, which was a first. (He had made the comment that he knew both Kauchana and Derric were on IEPs, he knew Kauchana's wasn't as big as Derric's, but didn't know why or in what ways. So I told him to start tagging along... when he could) There was a two part reason for the IEP meeting. One part, we needed a full IEP and on updated forms, and the second part, I dug out all of Kauchana's old files and found I couldn't find a single one of her forms, nothing, so I needed copies.

During the meeting, we covered (for Kevin's sake) just what all services Kauchana received and how everything was helping her. Kauchana has matured. They state she is coming in, doing her work, actually studding, asking for help, everything. The main thing she is still lacking is the biggest thing of all..... confidence in herself.

We updated her IEP, made sure everything was put in, went over what files I needed, and headed on home. I am going to start working on a project, but it will be put in place once we move into the new house. It is something I think she will really like. I might be sending out requests for help once I know fully what I will be doing. But I think it will help boost her self-confidence.

Derric

I managed to catch his LI (Learning Intervention) teacher this morning to have a small chat. I put in a request to get updates on how Derric is doing since I don't meet up with the LI daily like I had last year. I hadn't heard back, so I was starting to wonder. I checked today and found that the LI had been trying to call me.... But I haven't had any phone calls.... So I stopped in after getting Derric to class, and was able to chat a bit about how he is doing. Updated contact details and see some of his work. He has had a lot of growth this school year! And we are only, what, a month in? I was really happy to see what he was accomplishing now. Now to get him to do homework!

Tomorrow we go in for the medical clearance interview with the EFMP services. Should be an enlightening experience.
