DWR 007 - IEP Meeting & First Day of Preschool
Episode 7
Tuesday, 26 November, 2019
SUPPORT DOWN SYNDROME: https://kraveathlete.com/collections/frontpageOn this episode of Down with the Robinson's we discuss how our first IEP meeting went, what an IEP meeting is and our initial thoughts going into the meeting to talk to the teachers. We also talk about Pierce's first day of preschool and how excited we are about his future and next chapter of his life. This poem from Jillian Benfield also gives us all of the feels as we start this school journey:I pray my child is embraced for who they are. I pray they are wanted not in spite of their differences, but because of them. May their diversity be celebrated.I pray teachers and staff have a healthy balance of patience and high expectations because they are capable of much.God, I pray you open up my child’s mind with readiness to grow. May they learn more about your world, so they can fully embrace the beautiful life you’ve given them.God, I pray kindness abounds. May it flow steadily from both kids and adults through the classroom, playground, and hallways.Beyond kindness, beyond inclusion, I pray my child makes a real friend. Because life is hard, disability can be complicated, and we all need someone to lean on.God, this is my prayer above all, more than academic progress or meeting IEP goals, I pray my child walks into school every day knowing they belong.AmenOn this podcast we want to share our journey with down syndrome and how it has completely changed our lives, We are here to spread awareness and information, make an impact and give back to the community that has given us so much!
