Hi, and thanks in advance for helpful answers!
My Daughter and I have an IEP meeting coming up in a few days.
She has Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy, and in the last 6 months, has become legally blind.
The school and the district have been so amazingly helpful and accommodating. They have already put many measures into place for her, even though the plan isn't formal and legal yet.
I have heard IEP horror stories, and frankly, am so grateful that ours has turned out so hassle-free. That being said, I would like to express my thanks to all involved (and I've heard that there will be an astronomical amount of staff present at this meeting, male and female alike), WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!!!! Can any of you give me an idea or two for appreciation tokens?
Thanks, again!
I remeber going to one of those meetings.. they can be brutal.
I think the best thing you can do is write a note of appreciation to each person in thanks of all the work that they have done for your daughter. Let them know how much you appreciate it!
I'm not really sure what an IEP meeting is, but universtal gifts are universal :)
How about some nice scented candles or a box of chocolates?
Or, if you want something a little more personal, nothing is more touching than a handwritten note of thanks. It shows true appreciation, and you could attach it to a photograph of you and your daughter.
Bring cookies.
So sorry to hear about your daughter going blind, I wish her the very best.
Baked goods: Chocolate chip cookies, brownies, muffins, etc. Buy some cute, cheep bags, baskets plates, whatever and load them up with goodies.
hi...there are many gift basket places around in your local florists, food stores, online...try Figis.com, ediblearrangements.com, and send a thank you basket...a platter of cookies, a basket of candies, and a card saying Thank You goes along way when it comes to making folks that have helped you feel acknowledged.
Three of my family members suffer from MS, and I always acknowledge the doctors and office staff(s) with some type of edible thank you around the Holidays.
I think a nice way of showing appreciation is framed poetry. Look up (or write your own) poems that truely represent your gratefulness. You can buy some elegant, inexpensive, frames and print out the poems with fancy designs in the backgrounds. Good Luck!
teach her meditation so that she will be very confident. you can see srcm.org.com for meditation
Baked goods are always nice, on top of that you could buy or print out cards that you and your daughter have added a nice poem or sentiment to that the two of you have written yourselves thanking all involved for their exceptional help and understanding.
A simple heartfelt thank you is all that is needed though, tell them what you've told us, they sound like wondeful people.
I hope the best for you and your daughter.
Bake some cookies or prepare a nice covered dish for everyone to eat at the meeting or afterwards. Maybe buy a couple dozen doughnuts.
 If it's bad etiquette to talk about politics and religion at dinner and in the work place..?
 I am a school janitor. The bathrooms get really messy what kind of signs can I put up they wont writeon,throw?
