So Mediation has been set for April 8th. I have to get all the documentation from medical providers and I also need to create a strategy for this mediation session. Basically a neutral party will hear the early intervention's reasons for not granting the additional sessions. And then I get to say all the reasons that should be looked at as well for why the additional sessions should be granted. Then the neutral party tries to sum up what each party is saying and then encourages an agreement.
If the agreement is something we all agree to, then the ongoing service coordinator will have to add it into the service plan, which will make it a legally binding document. They would have to comply otherwise can be taken to court for failure to provide services.
So, to do list is getting very long and with short turn around time. 1) must call: Neurologist, Neurosurgeon, orthopedist, and pediatrician requesting a letter in support for increase. Invite them all to be available by phone April 8th to answer questions if necessary. 2) Speak with Advocate for Kids to find strategy for mediation session. 3) create copies of letters for mediator, DOE, Service provide, PT and for myself for day for mediation. 4) possibly ask HSS PT for letter to DOE as well.
On going list of things to do:
1) set up medical appointments for myself 2) change of address with all credit cards and bills 3) call access a ride 4) search for babysitter 5) call for SSI services 6) enroll in YMCA swimming classes 7) search for pediatric dentist and schedule first dental appointment 8) do taxes and set up payroll for babysitter 9) call HSS ask for additional physical therapy sessions 11) follow up with Urologist about medical records being sent to him before Friday's appointment re: UTI 12) go to pharmacy for ear infection medication, for myself...how does an adult get an ear infection?!?!?! :( 13) grocery shopping
And at some point: 13) rest.
sigh.
