Karianna over at the Silicon Valley Moms blog wrote one of the best posts on the IEP process that I've seen for parents of newly-diagnosed kids. And the graphic is not to be missed. Don't open it with a mouthful of Diet Coke, I warn you.

Priceless. Sigh, I miss California sometimes. If we were still there then you and Maddy and Drama Mama and I could all get our kids together and hang out. Or kvetch...or drink margaritas?

Oh yes, I vote for a meet up. I'll bring the drinks.

Hey, wait for me. Next summer? I'll be there. California here I come (again...)

Thank you for sending me to this post. And thanks for the warning. I literally was drinking a can of Diet Coke as I read this. So your warning was very valuable.
