Today was a meeting with representatives from the local Early Intervention (EI) office AND the local school district. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Robbie's (possible) transition from EI to the school district. EI provides therapies and special services (Robbie has in-home appts for physical and occupational therapy) until age 3 , at which point the child is assessed and, if determined eligible, their special needs are addressed by the school district through "by-appointment" therapy at a local school, or possibly admittance to a special needs preschool class.
I find myself hoping Robbie makes it into the preschool. Of course I would prefer for him to not have severe enough needs to merit additional programs: however, if he is borderline, I hope he gets in and can benefit from the program.

I admit, I kinda hoped Isaiah's speech was bad enough to get into the school districts Preschool - solely because it would save me hundreds of dollars a month. But I also admit to being thrilled that he doesn't even come close to qualifying. So I know how those dual feelings go.
