Oh the joys of moving with an IEP

There are so many steps that you have to take as a parent of a special needs child.  Then there are the extra steps and leaps that you have to make when you are a parent of special needs child in the military.

Our family moves every 2 years.  We were lucky 2 duty stations ago because we were able to stay there for 3 years!  Every time we move we have to travel down the path of the special education in each different states, and it has been pretty straightforward so far, until now.

To say that I am frustrated and upset would be silly....I have much harsher words for what I am feeling about this process of getting Brendan on the right path in school with the correct services.  On the positive side, he has an amazing teacher, an amazing aide and fabulous Speech therapist.  On the other hand, I have not nice things to say about the Special Education Administration within the school.

We finally have the first IEP scheduled in Florida next week....wish them luck, trust me they'll need it!
