THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!  You kicked major butt today.  Thank you for being so professional and for navigating us through the meeting.  You were able to incorporate the most important measurable goals into his IEP and fought for him where it mattered.  You were able to cut through the "drama" of the teacher and work with the rest of the staff.  Thank you for staying throughout the afternoon to work to get a document that I could sign.  We will never go to a meeting without you.

I wanted you to know that one of my teachers was so excited about the ideas she got during your presentation that she went home last night, went through all of her student’s calculation goals on their IEP’s and created data sheets for every objective for every one of her students! She also created a schedule in her plan book that focuses on collecting data on one student per period every day, utilizing herself and her assistant! She plans on working on the other goals and objectives this weekend! Thanks for inspiring her!

Thanks so much for all of your help today.  It’s hard to describe how stressful those meetings can be when you’re talking about your own wonderful, frustrating, talented, disabled, lovely, and sometimes out-of-control child.  Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for your diligence and for being able to hear and process all of the details that a stressed parental mind just can’t absorb.

Our family used The Special Kids Company's services to help us get an appropriate placement for our daughter.  Together, we spent many hours and a few days of blood, sweat and tears.  They did a formal presentation at several of our meetings and were instrumental in helping our daughter get the services and placement that she needed.

My husband and I loved working with you while we pursued an appropriate placement for our son. Even though I consider myself very knowledgeable and confident in dealing with IEP issues and meetings, your experience and help was invaluable in our preparation and pursuit of a program that would meet our son’s needs.  Your expertise, professionalism and teamwork with our doctor, our lawyer and ourselves, made us grateful to have you working with us.

I am so happy about the meeting today and knowing our daughter will be included at a typical school in the fall brings me absolute joy! Thank you for your attention to detail and persistence with the county. I know that is why they followed through, and we were given the placement without further discussion. I felt so confident that everything was being done correctly since you were there. I appreciate your sensitivity and belief that our daughter has the ability to succeed in the general education environment. I will be in touch. You were terrific!
