And what a caring sped coordinator! J wanted nothing to do with the iep meetings, unfortunately (but understandably). He wasn't thrilled with the cast of characters that we were stuck with! I have a feeling that Nigel will thrive in high school! Beautiful! And what a caring sped coordinator! J wanted nothing to do with the iep meetings, unfortunately (but understandably).

I have a feeling that Nigel will thrive in high school!

Especially the part about never having to eat lunch alone. I wish I had gone to a school like that... my high school life would have been much different! Sounds like a wonderful school!

It gives me a huge amount of hope. Go, Nigel! I'm with Carrie though, I find it very difficult to look back at old videotapes of "official" events. I even have a hard time reading over notebooks and journals from the early years. I love this post. It gives me a huge amount of hope. Go, Nigel!

Well, okay, maybe for a million. And I quite agree that he will be fine. Better than fine.

Not only can he find his way, he can participate in the meeting and even make a joke! He will do fine. This is such an encouragement for me!
