IEP

I was warned it could take over three months to complete an IEP for the little man.  Well it only took six weeks.  We had our meeting today to go over the evaluation and the IEP. 
They had to break up the testing a lot to get it done.  It is part of the whole.  He did really well on the IQ stuff.  And they said he was NOT working up to potential.  If he got a little frustrated he would not move forward.  If he perceived he had something wrong he would not move forward.  His scores showed average for grade level to way high.  Both the psychologists and the principal said they had not seen scores that high.  Those were math scores.
They did agree that if we don't get a handle on the behavior...the education suffers.  It probably already has to a point, it is just he is smart enough to not fall way back behind.  Yet.
That said....his IEP is not for academics.  He will be pulled out of gen ed and moved to an SLC room where he will work on the behaviors and get small group instruction for academics.  He does seem to work better in that setting.  He has done better the last six weeks having his one on one, so it kind of proves that point. 
The problem is his school does not have an SLC room that meets his needs.  And so he will be transitioning to another school.  And oh he does not do well with change.  But we will get through it.  We will find out next week which school he will be moving too. And how that is going to work with busing and daycare.
While I totally agree it is a good thing, my heart still breaks for him.  He is leaving  his school and all his friends.  Now he is pretty social and makes new friends easily.  So it may not be that hard on  him.  But you know he still talks about his best friends who have moved to different schools and still misses them.
