Frankie will be 2 1/2 in November and we will start the transition/IEP process. I want him to get an IEP for a number of reasons. I am just going to list them so I can remember them and refer back.
He has trouble pointing out things/animals etc. in books.
All animals are a sheep to him.
He has trouble with stairs.
New surroundings make for more of a chance to trip and he does not want to explore as much.
He trips over the bottom of door jams.
He sometimes does not know his milk is there when it is right in front of him.
He cannot see a storybook when it is held by a teacher at the front of the room, even when he is sitting on the floor right in front of her and she is in a chair.
He needs his sunglasses and hat while outside and should not be in the sun for long periods of time.
He has trouble stacking small blocks.
Things with similar colors blend together and he has a harder time picking something out.
He would not easily be able to recognize someone across the room.
At a familiar playground, has trouble locating other pieces of playground equipment, if they are far away.
At some unfamiliar playgrounds, has trouble walking across them; will stop and put his hand down, shuffle very slowly.
Frankie is doing really well, but I still think he would benefit from an IEP, at least in the beginning so he can get the best start, that he deserves.
