Yeah, we discussed that for quite some time -- I wanted to make sure that he would be able to get it back if it became necessary again, say with the pressures of middle school and getting older. He still has the elementary counselor that he checks in with every day when he gets back from math class, and she is an absolute angel. The MS counselor is part of the team now, and she will be working with the elementary one the rest of this year.
I was concerned about his going to so many teachers in MS, ones that don't know him, but they actually team things up so that the kids in MS may have seven classes but only three different teachers, so it's not such a shock to their systems. And when we think of it, DS has more teachers than any of the other kids already, with his pullouts and his MS class, and he may end up with more than that if we send him for other MS classes this year.
But they are ready to reinstate his IEP if he comes up needing it again, so hopefully it will be ok!
