Thank you everyone!
Had the meeting - was not bad at all - although DH and I did get a little teary at moments when presented with the combination of DS' wonderfulness and his struggles.
Upside - getting OT in the school, vision consult recommended, accommodations will be addressed in the future, feeling like there is a plan, and really feeling like the school cares, which I am not sure why i felt like that wouldn't be the case.
OT seems really on top of things - most interesting comment both pysch and OT seemed to agree that DS did not feel like he fit in his body, that the sides weren't in agreement.
Downside - not really many - just little irritations particularly the frequent reference to his pride in his intellectual skills - and the emphasis on his social skills, which are not a "problem" but apparently aren't "optimal"
there were other things, but not significant in the overall scheme of things. We got a great report from the pysch in terms of it being very thorough - really interesting kiddo we have, very interesting to see the way he thinks.
But we now have an IEP, we have goals, we have a plan, and hopefully we are moving forward and things will get better for DS - and he will be more comfortable and confident.
I am so glad its over! Thank you again for all your help - this place is such a salvation!
