This week was awesome! DD had another great week! That makes 2 weeks in a row!!!! Yipee! She was even in one gen. ed. class this week and stayed in the class the whole week! The lowest grade she made on her behavior chart was a 97!!!!! We are so proud of her. We also started titrating down on the Depakote and she should be completely off of it by December 29. We are praying and believing that God's glory will be seen through this in a big way and that DD will not have any negative side effects or any rebound episodes. I am hoping to be able to go to DD's psychiatrist in January and be able to tell her only great things! God is awesome and I am believing Him in a big way!
In regards to the school, I received a response to my letter regarding the training/experience of DD's teachers in regards to her disorders. They could not find any such records. So I will be requesting training for DD's teachers. Also in regards to the evaluation that is missing out of her special ed folder, well I have now received two different stories from the district. One saying that they remember the evaluation being in her folder and another saying that I never gave them the document (and that was from the same person). I don't know how to fight the he said, she said that is transpiring out of this, but I distinctly remember sitting in the principal's office along with the counselor and giving them the report along with discussing a possible additional diagnosis of bi-polar. That was back before I knew to document everything. So a lesson that everyone should take from this is to document everything! If you have a meeting, send a letter confirming what was discussed in the meeting and any documents that were given at that meeting and that you expect them to be placed in your child's permanent education file.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
