IEP Serenity Wish

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

May the great IEP wizard grant me:

The strength to help my son change what can be changed through a combination of effective and thoughtful programs, teachers, therapists and compensatory strategies.

The courage to ignore those behavioral issues that drive me crazy, but will likely disappear on their own and/or didn’t matter in the first place.

The wisdom to know the difference so that I don’t drive my son crazy, thereby increasing my chances that he  might actually come to visit me in the nursing home (preferably accompanied by at least one grandchild) during my sunset years.
