FINALLY! Here is Lyra’s IEP for next year. It’s definitely not perfect, but it’s okay…for now. We’ll see how things go once school starts. I’ve been feeling like a total slacker as a parent lately. I still haven’t scheduled Lyra’s Low Vision evaluation and the first day of school is only a month away. Until [...]
