Ms. KeeperoftheGateofWisdom

Preparing for Noah's Eligbility Meeting tomorrow .... the thoughts and feelings are always there and they are hard to manage at times during a meeting. I advise my clients to do a letter to them prior the meeting to ease the stress and release the emotions (now I do not let them ALL send them!)

Dear Ms. KeeperoftheGateofWisdom -

I look forward to our meeting tomorrow to discuss Noah's FABULOUS progress and his new areas of need that have come to light since our last Eligibility Meeting.

Now please understand that I am very sensitive about his FABULOUS progress and I am thrilled to have him at such a wonderful school district that believes in a full person approach for education and rehabilitation.

So - if I cry during the meeting - it is a CELEBRATION of my baby boy's AWESOME progress and it is a CELEBRATION that he has a IEP TEAM that loves and cares about HIM (not just his Special Needs - HIS fabulous heart of gold - HIS warm smile - and HIS GIFTS)

Sincerely,

PROUD Noah's mama
PS - Didn't want to SCARE you with the TEARS of LOVE - leading you to think I was about to explode ♥ because TEARS are a sign of strength and love for my boy and I am not afraid to show the feelings.
