Out of the Systems

On Monday, I had Kauchana's, now, last IEP meeting. She is now out of the Special Education system.

According to the nation wide tests that they did with her, she now falls in the "Average" range. Due to the way the system here tests, her scores would have actually been even higher in some areas, but due to the format, she sits a little on the lower end.

Instead of being in the Special Ed room for a class period to catch up and process everything, she now attends a Study Hall. The team did state that her processing speed and short term memory are her only hindrances, but they are not enough to warrant being in the special ed system.

So, Kauchana has "graduated" out and is now fully in regular classrooms with normal assistance. No more behind the scenes help.

All teachers stated that Kauchana has been a very open and easy going child, asks questions and participates in the class. Her only downfall is not turning in her note folder for credit weekly in one class. She is making friends and is working hard.

Honestly, after everything I heard, I started to wonder if they were talking about a different child.

I hope all goes well with her and she can keep up.
