"a plan developed to ensure that a child who has a disability identified under the law and is attending an elementary or secondary educational institution receives accommodations that will ensure their academic success and access to the learning environment."
He told us it would "help to even out the playing field for Jordan." I feel very fortunate that he chose to phrase it this way. It helped to ease the blow of hearing the word "disability", which really hit me hard. What do you mean Jordan is disabled? But then I reminded myself of Jordan's past struggles, and that a chemical imbalance is, in actuality, physical. It's like being blind or needing a wheelchair. (Is it really?)
I was thankful and relieved that Jordan would begin getting any accommodations necessary and that we had full support from the high school. This was a big deal.
Hope was on the horizon!
Thank you.
