As most of you are aware, back in September Alex and I moved just a few miles down the road from where we previously lived, but its in a different town, therefore a different school district. This coming Thursday we will be having a meeting with the special education director for Jacob's annual IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) meeting. Up until now our previous school district has been funding Jacob's schooling (he was outplaced to a wonderful private school) and home-based services, but now its time for our new district to take over. I would really appreciate your prayers on this day. We want Jacob to continue having the same services he has been getting for the past two years, and we really hope this new district will be in agreement with us. I have no reason to think that they will "fight" what has already been in place, but you never know. Josiah started kindergarten here in the fall and I have been nothing but impressed with his elementary school, so hopefully the special education department will be no different.
At this meeting there will representatives there from the school district, the school Jacob is attending, his home services, and, obviously, Alex and me. Its really an awesome thought knowing that there will be so many people in one room advocating for Jacob and coming together to put in place the perfect plan for him. He really does have so many who care for him. For those of you who don't know Jacob, I promise, you would fall in love with him immediately. So, when you think of us this week, say a little prayer.
