Well, I've checked one thing off my list. Tom's school choice for now is done.
Hopefully we will make the cut for a firm offer (chances are very good), but we've accepted our conditional offer for The Classical Academy. We had a meeting with the SpEd director for the school yesterday and I was thrilled that Tom's IEP team came along too. TCA said they didn't hear anything that they didn't feel like they could accommodate, so we're going to go for it. We're going to give Tom the opportunity to succeed, rather than to focus on the 'what ifs'. With our private therapy provision, as well as school ST and OT if needed, we feel confident that we can guide Tom through the first few years of school.
Sure, there is still a chance that it might not be the right placement, but, there is that risk with any school, and, should it prove that way, there is nothing that prevents us moving him to another school further down the road.
But, for now, we're done. Assuming we get that firm offer, Tom will start kinder at TCA in Aug.
Update 1/5/2012 - Tom's offer is now firm! Woohoo!
