This morning we had Raquel's Transition Meeting. It went really well. Found out that Raquel will most likely qualify for two schools in our area - one being conveniently on the way to Gabby's school. Sounds like she'll be going Monday through Friday from 8am - 11am. And the student/teacher ratio is only 2:1! I was so happy to hear that. She'll basically be getting the same therapy she's getting now, just in a school setting.
For the meeting, Ken (from the Regional Center) pretty much just briefed the District Psychologist, Lorraine, on Raquel's background and gave her Janine's initial report. Lorraine then went into details of the programs offered and prepared me for what was to come. I had to sign a release form authorizing Lorraine to go ahead with her assessments. We scheduled the IEP for Monday, January 5th.
Janine was also present to give her input and Raquel was the happiest, most affectionate girl throughout the meeting. She wouldn't stop giving me kisses and hugs, which they all enjoyed seeing.
My favorite part of Janine's report is her current observations of her: "Raquel is a bright, sweet and affectionate little girl who continues to make great strides in her development." I continue to believe with all my heart and soul that she will do just fine.
