So, on Friday, Emily's teacher called to tell me that the the school wasn't ready for Emily's IEP, and that they were not having it this week. I got a call today that they ARE having it--on Thursday. The woman from the school was recapping and said something like, "She is being labeled as Speech and Language Impaired, right?" I told her I thought that was still up for discussion.
I am so sick of fighting! Why can't they just do the right thing? I don't care if they don't have the resources. I can get private resources--maybe--if she is appropriately labeled. She meets for AI both from the medical and academic sides! I should have known when during the home visit the social worker started spewing about children sometimes look like they have autism when they are just speech and languaged delayed. I corrected her then, and the autism specialist mentioned that Emily is probably just modeling her brother. (Eyeroll)
I am just so overwhelmed.

PS. Mom also sometimes makes streusel with cinnamon and finely chopped pecans to sprinkle in a light layer. Just add about half of the mixture, then the streusel, then the remaining mixture. HEAVENLY for breakfast when it is toasted with a bit of butter.
