Countdown

Counting down the days until Caroline starts at the public high school here next week.  She is so excited.  Today I called the district to initiate the IEP process.  With the concussions, the bipolar disorder, the ADHD, the Non Verbal Learning Disorder, and the extremely low processing speed, she should qualify for some accommodations and modifications.  So we shall see how next week goes.  She got into Geometry which was huge, but we are choosing to have her repeat Spanish I.  Last year was such a wash.  Better to start fresh.  She met the lacrosse coach at the school who watched her do some drills with the other girls and the coach was pretty impressed with her skills.  No sports this fall though.  Caroline said she just wants to focus on academics anyway.

She had her first meetings with both her new psychologist and her new psychiatrist.  Well, I should say the NP at the psychiatrist's office.  The psychologist meeting went much better than that with the NP.  So we are switching her over to another psychiatrist in the practice who is likely more suitable.  But to find these new providers is huge.

Mathnasium is continuing to make a huge difference in her Algebra skills.  Worth every penny.

I am looking into a part-time job but have no idea where to start.  So many news things all at once.

I will check back next week after the first few days of school.
