Mike and I met with all of Trey’s IEP (Individualized Education Program) Specialists today. The purpose of this end of the year meeting was to conduct an annual review and revision of Trey’s current IEP.
Although Mike and I questioned Trey’s OT progress, again we were told that Trey does well in the classroom and that OT is not needed at this time. I asked that another OT evaluation be done at the beginning of next school year.
Trey will continue to receive 120 minutes per month of speech therapy. We were told that he has a speech delay, (which we believe is due in part to his hearing loss and under bite) that affects his reading, letter sounds and sight word recognition.
Trey will continue to receive consultative physical therapy services as he may need assistance at any activity requiring gross motor skills which would keep him from staying consistent with his classmates.
It seemed that most of the behavior modifications (other than the obvious step stools, bike, and heightened chair in the cafeteria) that Trey required in every area were repeated directions, one-on-one assistance from his teacher and help from a peer.
Overall, we were told that Trey is able to follow classroom rules and procedures, works well in both small groups and independently, and gets along well with his classroom peers and teachers.
Each time that Mike and I have to sit and discuss Trey’s shortcomings amongst his educators, we feel deflated but not defeated. Trey does his very best to hold his own and we couldn't ask for more from him. Trey is so strong and independent and never wants to be singled out for being anything but “normal”. We are so proud of you Mr. Man!
