Hi!!! and HELP!!!! My family is moving back to the States in Jan. We've lived in Brazil for the last 8 years.....While we're excited to be going home, I'm feeling insecure about the kids school transition.
My son Lucas will be 11 in Jan. so the middle of 5th grade....I have read about IEP's and how you have to take charge from the beginning with the school systems to get what you need for your child...but I'm not sure what to ask for!!!! His school in Brazil was private and small..they took excellent care of him and whatever he needed on a day to day basis they provided....Lucas is still ambulatory...but enjoys the help of a scooter for long distances like the shopping mall...He is mostly a B student with a few A's and an occasional C......He can write well, but does get tired after a while....He can take care of all his personal needs..He. likes P.E., but can't do everything, He has a hard time with stairs......I feel blessed to have him still doing so well....but want to make sure I set up the best situation for him when we get to the States...{South Florida, would LOVE to get to know other families in that area}....I do not know anything about the laws...what he's entitled to....ect.... Any info you can pass along would be GREATLY appreciated!!!! Thanks!!!!Karen
