Sara and her friend are in the living room watching music videos on YouTube and singing along. It's quite adorable, and improving my mood.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Both cats are fascinated by the fly buzzing around. Probably won't catch it, but you never know.

Personally, I wish my state would just get on with it and join Canada. We'll fit right in.

no IEP, yet. We just had a full psych eval done which should let us know if we have any grounds to request one. As it is, he pulls high grades when he does the work, so schools have argued against doing anything since as they say "he has no learning disability", but since he had never been tested, we actually don;t know if he does or not.

That's such bullshit, msbelle. Owen reads at 4th grade level and does great on math, science, and social studies--doesn't mean he doesn't need therapy and special ed support.

As far as I know, there are other grounds for creating IEPs, so I would keep on them about it. I know it's not easy, though.

oh, we will get one this year. Like I said, we just recently had a full psych eval done, so I will go in with that and start requesting things.

The rule is typically that they "suspect" a disability. Have some tests run, then decide whether or not the child does have a disability which impeded their ability to function without support in the school environment. It's my experience that they will reject the "suspicion" for a time if it suits them.
You can request a copy of the school district's handbook for parents of special education students to get the rules for each district.

msbelle, when I had Owen evaluated at the end of the school year, they put wrote off the evaluation as "do not suspect" a disability, mainly due to timing. I had to start the process all over again in the fall, which was sort of annoying.
Good luck. I figured once you have the Dx, you're in a better position to start requesting more from the school.

Good luck msbelle. Hoping things work out for the best for you and mac.
That quote above has me increasingly livid. I'm looking to see if anyone makes note of the fact that the GOP is basically saying "Yeah we're fucking with people's health care not so much because we really think it's a good thing to do, but because we want to be giant pricks to Obama!" Not one commentary I've read on the article does anyone stop and say WTF you arrogant douchebags!?!?!?!
