It drives me crazy not being able to ask all my questions. I'm trying to make a good relationship with the teachers. And not make them want to run in the other direction.

One note of progress:
I asked DS9 if he would like to do independent studies again this year? "Yes"
Would you like me to ask the gifted teacher about this Or would you like to? "The gifted teacher talked about this today in enrichment and said the group could do independents studies."

I've been wondering about this since June becuase it was not in his IEP. This is wonderful news! He gets to learn something to be excited about at school and take charge of his learning. Last year, when he did a solar power car independent study the other kids in class wanted to see it and try to make it work. Socially it was good too.
