My tax dollars at work.<BR/><BR/>I'm a packrat by nature, so I have every scrap of paper from the first phone call to IEP, to last week's meeting. As soon as I find my file folders (I can't believe I haven't unpacked them yet, after a year - yeesh!) I'll separate everything. For now, I've got it all in one big mailing envelope.

Not much fun, but at least it is temporary. Too bad about the layoff part of it, though. *shudders*<BR/><BR/>As far as the evaluation goes...does this mean he's going to be evaluated again to see if he can get into the school, or was that what was already done? My head's spinning! :)<BR/><BR/>And keep all your paperwork. As you've noticed, everyone asks the same questions, over and over again. I find it helpful to have all that pertinent stuff written down, so that I can refer to it during these interviews and hand it to them afterwards (a copy, natch), so that everyone is on the same page. And I keep a folder for each kid filled with that stuff (evaluation results, IEP/IFSP stuff, medical records stuff, copies of correspondence). It helps to keep you organized, and you can find things very easily when you need them.<BR/><BR/>Fun stuff. *hugs*<BR/><BR/>And sorry about your knee. It sounds super painful.

You now have proof that you can handle difficult situations!!! It makes you a better person. Or something.
