Just telling me now!

Deep breath and take the next step forward. With one of those deep breaths I walked into yet another IEP meeting today, at least 12 of them under my belt, and this being the one I have been least prepared for, because my papers are in a pile and smell like smoke and have soot stains on them. As I listened to my sons teachers talk about how smart he is and how engaging I smiled, then the zinged me with how much of the actual content of the lessons he is missing because of his frequent trips to the bathroom! Come on people, it's March! You think if this was an issue we'd be on it by now....this is the danger of working with special education staff and not having the carry over with the general education teachers, where does it break down? Obliviously there isn't a medical connection to this soooo, yes, a functional behavior. Then the BCBA who has known him forever has to look at his documents to see that there is no FBA in his plan, like I pointed out many times before~there should be! So onto the next "issue" or "problem" if you will, and with a deep breath I continue to move forward!
