Graduating from Special ed Preschool ... but speech continues

  Lots of emotions today and Yes they are about Shane go figure!😁I met today with the therapists and Shane's teachers to discuss all the testing he has done and possibly change to his IEP. I walked into the meeting thinking they were going to take off his development delay diagnosis and leave his speech delay and go to shorter preschool week. Well they said that Shane is scoring average in almost all his areas! This is great news it is! 😁It's just very hard to take! He still is around 39% in his speech so a little below average,,but doing well enough that he doesn't need an IEP anymore! So that means he no longer qualify for the special Ed part of government funding.... Yes great news! So why do I feel so emotional? Why did I break out and sob at the end of meeting with all the therapists and Shanes teachers watching? Shane can still get 20 mins a week if I want at the school with speech therapy. He is still welcome to go to preschool,but two days a week and we would have to pay. So I think the emotions come from it all happening at once one minute he is in preschool next min we are told these options. It's a lot to handle especially being his mom and his speech to you still needs work. Plus finding the money to pay for preschool. Oh dear . I'm grateful he is doing so well, and I know later on if he struggles in school he can get help again. My security blanket is ripped away from me
