As education budgets are being slashed schools are tight when it comes to allotting monies for special needs children. It is important for parents to be aware of how the IEP process works and to be assertive with the IEP team during a meeting. Know your rights. The preparation alone can be overwhelming.

Then yesterday I was driving back listening to an audio book and thinking about this particular son and how things were going since he has returned home. For a moment I got agitated wondering why I was taking so much time out of my day to accommodate his needs. Once again I felt the pull of being the enabler. Then I looked out over the blue water on the bay as I drove over the bridge toward home and began to appreciate the beauty and became grateful that he appears to be integrating well at this school. Something I did not think would be possible once he returned home.

This is the son that I wonder if we have neglected because we have put so much energy into his older brothers issues. This is not that uncommon when you have one child with special needs.
