He is hearing impaired, has Tourette Syndrome, OCD and ADHD. He is a junior in high school. Elijah lives with his mom Mary and her wife, his stepmom.

IEP Meeting

We had Elijah's IEP meeting today. It went well. An adaptive PE evaluation will be done. I also got it written into the paperwork that he will attend one mainstream class a week. I just want it written down to be sure it gets done. I asked about participating in school events and not basing it on his behavior. The teacher and everyone were fine with that. The teacher finally seems to get that this is truly neurological and some days just aren't good days and he can't help it.

    I'm so behind on my blog reading, are you on Deaf Village? girl you need to submit your blog so it'll show up there, that's where I read most of my blogs these days, while I'm moderating. Rachel will hook you up if you submit, only the ones related to hearing loss will show up as long as they don't have uncaptioned videos or something. Glad it went well.
