I had a meeting with Drew's regular speech therapist today and she said that Drew is ready to be done with his weekly speech sessions. I am happy and nervous. I like that safety net of having professionals interacting with him each week. I am happy that I will now have more time at home on Tuesday afternoons though. It will be nice to walk Kat to school and to come home for a couple of hours before going off to work for the evening.
Ms. J said that Drew is extremely bright and has a terrific memory. That he is ready for Kindergarten in the fall. The funny part is that Drew isn't eligible to go to Kindergarten this fall, he needs to wait until the fall of 2012 to start Kindergarten!
We'll keep meeting with the speech therapist until May and then we'll do an IEP for Drew's 4 year old preschool year. After that all bets are off as to whether he will remain in the special ed program for hearing or not. If he continues to behave as a typical student he will lose his IEP and will no longer be followed by a team of teachers, speech therapists, audiologists and social workers. Again, that makes me feel happy and nervous.
