Tomorrow, on my birthday and on the solar eclipse-DD1 starts back to school. She has been roughly out of school for nearly 14 MONTHS. (She did go here and there last May-maybe 4 days total but nothing significant)
She is so excited! She has been home by herself since school started and is over it. Her endurance is still not there-I wish we could start with 1/2 days but there is no one to pick her up early.
I am super anxious about it-I think I will be counting down the time until she gets home from school.

Wow! What a huge step and she must be so so excited. I'm sure the school has a place for her to rest if she needs a break and I bet she'll just be so thrilled to be back with her friends at school. Such a great milestone!🎉

That's so great! I hope this isn't weird, but my dd noticed her picture as I was scrolling FB a long time ago and asked about her, so I shared her story, and I showed her the pictures of what your DD has crocheted since my dd got into crocheting around the same time (my dd is currently loving a book called Crochet Cafe where she makes food items). My dd asks about yours from time to time and just asked the other day if yours had gotten to go back to school yet and thinking about how hard it must be to not be able to go to school when you want to. So special good wishes from my dd for yours to have a great day today!

It went great. She LOVES it. She stayed home today to rest though. It is a lot. And then add in the fact she has to walk a mile home after school.
Most kids from transplant families start with half days etc. we can’t do that because we have no one to pick her up mid day. So it literally is all or nothing which is frustrating to us. (Especially me).

I'd also call school transportation and check iep to try to get it written up as a needed accommodation. Locally out school district transportation has a van that does transport for special cases like this

At mininum they should offer you a bus so she doesn't have to walk a mile home. I am so happy for her that she is back in school and that it's going well!

I'm think most school districts won't provide a bus within two miles, but that might be different if there's a 504 plan on file.

Very true. But also dealing with a stubborn 12 year old who HATES the bus and always has. Plus one of her best friends live in the neighborhood so she LOVES walking home with her. As a mom it is a lot, but she would rather not be thought of different and use zero accommodations she has in place. (Like a medical note for an elevator-she has one but won’t use it because she wants to walk to classes with her friends).
It is a fine balance to navigate.

fancynewbeesly, I know for um regular situations a 504 or maybe iep can include doing things to foster friendships for students who need that--but not sure adding them into a ride to/from school by the transportation dept in a van could work. I would ask cause why not?
