Today was the IEP meeting to determine what will happen to Aidan next year. He's done great so far this year (at least since he got moved to Johnson), and we are happy with the progress he's made. Thankfully, they didn't want to try to move him back to Creekside (I'd have had a come-apart if that had even been mentioned as a possibility) yet. I wanted him to move on to first grade, but it was decided that he didn't do well enough in the reading portion of testing to move on. They think he'll do better repeating kindergarten and really solidifying the skills and knowledge offered there, rather than moving on to first grade which is significantly more difficult. Plus, it requires him to work independently and he's not really ready for that yet.
They're going to work on keeping him in the mainstream class for a longer portion of the day, and in order to do that they're going to try to make at least a part of the classroom more sensory friendly for him. He'll keep an aide with him for as long as he needs one, and then will transition to a peer partner if possible.
I'm not sure how I feel about any of this. Maybe I'll write more later once I have had more time to process it... and am not sick.
