In our house we are hungry.
I have a son who's disability makes hunger an ever present part of his life. I hunger for a better way to serve my family, my friends and my community. My younger son has a hunger for knowledge that is ravenous and exciting to watch. My husband has a hunger to love each of us as Christ loves the church.
We are hungry in our house. In this blog I address each of our hungers and talk about finding satisfaction for each of them.

Cainan's IEP Presentation
I never realized the importance of having Cainan participate in his IEP until after I began attending Partners in Policymaking. Last year, Cainan did a short presentation during his IEP, as well as his placement meeting at the end of the year. His desire to be in a general education class with his peers and attend the same school as his brother, was an important part of the placement decision. Now, we always talk to Cainan about upcoming IEP meetings and topics we have to discuss. Cainan's IEP meeting for this year was on Thursday. This year Cainan talked about how much he has enjoyed going to his school, what he identified as goals he wants to work on and what accommodations he likes, as well as his desires for next year. Here's a video of him running through the presentation before his meeting:
His presentation always makes a big impression on the team and I'm so proud of him for being involved and sharing his opinion.
