[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing and congrats!

My dd is in the initial IEP process now and I go back and forth between "this is going to give us all the answers we need and we can fix this!" and "she's going to drop out and live with us forever." It's nice to hear the success stories![/quote]

It’s probably somewhere in the middle. I went back and forth, too, and now I feel more…resigned isn’t the right word, but I guess accepting that this my son’s life. He has SN, is bright, and as a 11th grader still gets mediocre grades. He scores dead average on SAT (1010) and will go to a college where  most kids got mediocre grades and scored 1000ish on the SAT. It doesn’t give proud mom vibes, but given the fear I also had that he’d never go to college, it’s pretty good. I try harder now to not be so invested in whether he goes to college or doesn’t, gets good grades or doesn’t. A lesson I try (and often fail) to learn daily.

Congratulations, OP. I’m sure your son has worked very hard and is a great young man.[/quote]
