Characters:
- Five adult females: Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), Occupational Therapist (OT), Classroom Teacher (CT), two mothers (Mouse and Trillian).
- One almost-5-year-old male. No lines are given here, but he should ad lib along the lines of "What are you doing?" and "I'm ready to go." Frequently and loudly.
CT (receiving first page of packet): I know exactly where you live. It's my friend's house.
SLP: Oh, the ____s'?
Mouse and Trillian: Yes, that's the one.
OT: You know, I live in the house where CT grew up.
CT: She bought my parents' old house. And I used to live on ____ (one street over from us).
SLP: And I live on ____ (two streets over from us).
Trillian: And [other SLP] lives on the corner from us.
SLP: Right.
OT: That's life in a small town!
Postscript: Scooter starts preschool next week and I have put his name on the kindergarten list for next year. He gets an hour a week of OT and a classroom teacher who seems absolutely wonderful.

Hehehehe. I'm pretty sure I've had that exact conversation. (No IEP meetings yet, though. I'm STILL waiting for the paperwork to come detailing Bub's diagnosis AND confirming our purchase of the lot so we can actually register him for kindergarten. Sigh.)
This just warms my heart. I can't wait to hear how it is working out.
Wonderful! We have another IEP next week--I'm not sure it will go as warmly, but I sure hope so.
Fingers crossed for you, Aliki!
B&P, I feel for you. This process, with a willing school district, has taken many more weeks than we'd expected. On the plus side, I was able to slip him onto the kindergarten list when I was taking care of registration for preschool. Two birds.
