Trinity, point well taken. Believe me, I do not plan to stop the advocacy work, meetings, etc. -- ever! I will always push for DD to get what she needs in school.

I am just relieved and happy that this new school and teacher seem so much more receptive to the idea that DD needs something more. When I wrote above that I need to "relax and back off," I meant just to give the teacher a little time to get to know DD and draw her own conclusions. As long as DD continues to come home saying positive things about school, I'm happy for now.

In the meantime, I really need to get moving on our Davidson YS application. I wanted to have that done by now. I know it will help so much if DD is accepted as a YS and Davidson can help the school with lesson plans and other advice and support.

Thanks for your input!
