This past Thursday we had our first IEP (Individualized Education Plan) meeting with the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system. Sarah is a part of MD Infants and Toddlers, which is a division of the Special Education services of the MD Department of Education. This is the program special education are involved with prior to pre-school.
The meeting went great, and each lady that was a part of the meeting was fantastic. Sarah's oncology doctor had written a letter to the board requesting special treatment for Sarah because of her suppressed immune system and susceptability to sickness. The school system agreed, and therefore agreed to have all Sarah's therapy be in-home!! This is really good news, because otherwise, Jen would have to take Sarah to a school for her therapy up to 3 times a week. Not fun. However, now all the therapists will come to our house and work in our own living room!
We are off to Hilton Head, SC for vacation on Tuesday. We are hoping Sarah does well at the beach and enjoys playing in the sand!
