Wow, I had a bad start to my day. I was afraid it was a omen for
my meeting this afternoon. I first left my A pass for parking at home,
so had to return to get.

Then I lost my wallet in Walmart. Standing in line. Paying for. But
worried about the wallet. I finally located it just as I was leaving.
Wheew.

Then I'm having a heck of a time, finding a place to park, I knew the
parking garage was going to take 10 minutes or longer to walk, so
I was looking for something closer. Found it.

Got to the class just at time, so my two parents I had invited. And I talked.
Went well.

Then the one that is my Volunteer walked all around with me for over 30 minutes helping me locate, my car. Just before we called the Purdue police
to see if it had gotten towed for some reason. We found it. Wheew again.
But wow, I can sure pick my helpers, because I was getting so winded, and
she took my cart and started lugging the thing. Of course I gave her
a ride to her place of work.

Then I went across town, were I met a parent to talk to a :
Director of Special Education and a Coordinator.
About the case on Wednesday that her son was denied a IEP for emotional
disability. I was worried, that we were going to have problems. Because
of all the trouble I had. I'd thought we would get a independe evaluation, and then a review easily.

Turns out the Director had looked over the two original evaluations, and all the other information. Talked to the Assistant Directors, that had information. And a Asst. Superintendent that was involved and the principal I believe. And his first words were.

We believe we have a idea. We would like to give your son a diagnosis
of Emotional handicap. Wow, what a change.

And then they went on. And even placed in the Most restrictive placement
they can. Which is the only way he will get a full day this year.

He was up for expulsion, after only being in school 9 days this year.


So yippee. What a way to spend my day off,
