Second week of school and the principal has already contacted us to review her CUME file and adaptations, to get our input before he has a phone conference with her psychologist. He also wanted our permission to involve the school psychologist, so she could help the classroom teacher understand DD's strengths and weaknesses more fully. He is arranging for DD to have a personal mini-typer this week and promises to set up a meeting with us as soon as the handwriting assesment report is complete. We met the teacher tonight at curriculum night and she is 'in love' with DD. She is planning for homework to be given in a monthly packet and wants to individualize DD's, not sure how that will look yet but happy to hear it. She also wants to sit down with DD one-on-one and get her opinions on the existing adapations before we review them this year.
Baby steps, but we are happy that the new school is working hard to get to know her. I think I am more impressed that they want DD involved in the process... this is the only way to get her buy-in on anything. Bonus points!
