22 Sept 2008 - 26th day SY08 - 09

An interim IEP meeting was conducted on 22 Sept 2008, 10:15AM. The ESE Specialist, Speech Therapist, GE Teacher, ESE Teacher, Autism Coach and the parents of AX were present. It only lasted for one hour because the ESE Specialist thought that the interim IEP is only for the change of service that AX is getting. You see, his Math is with the mainstream students now together with Science and Social Studies since the 3rd week of classes. The autism coach was informed two weeks before the meeting that we want to change the goals in the academic domain of AX's IEP. It turned out that he did not mention this to the ESE Specialist. Besides, he has been telling me about the books for Reading and Language that I requested for AX for weeks. It was only given today when we reminded that principal last Friday that we are requesting for books. Instead, they loaned us books for Science and Social Studies. We were able to get hold of the High Frequency word list from Preprimer to Grade 3 from the General Ed teacher. I hope AX will be able to read more or to recognize more words soon since it will be very hard for him as he grows older. His school is still not functioning well to what we are expecting (especially in what I am expecting) for AX to have. The ESE teacher has not shown any Reading/Language schoolwork since the start of the SY. I have been asking and they are not giving.

He was not given Reading exercises today.

We took him to the physician last Saturday (20 Sept 08). We showed her the video of the bruises and we took off his shirt to show the fading bruises since it is past 2 days now when the incident took place. She issued a certification. At least, it is one good proof that something is really happening to AX while in school.
