Today's the Day

On a state and national level, today is a major day for Autism. Many decisions will be made- some specific to Washington regarding a minimum insurance coverage for all families and on a national scale, specific to IDEA, EI, and tons of other services for people with disabilities.

On a personal note, the ball has started rolling for Little Bug's placement to school. This means that I am going to be reading a lot about Wrightlaw and IEPs. It sounds like the process will culminate in April with an IEP meeting, but will include the following steps:

1. A home meeting with the Director of Special Education to map out Little Bug's process
2. Evaluations at ChildFind
3. An evaluation meeting
4. An IEP Meeting

Nick and I are really excited because our favorite therapist A will be coming to the last to meetings with us. Our FRC will be coming to the first two, which is also really exciting.
