EVSC/First Steps Meeting

Last Monday (a week and a half ago), I met with Gavin's First Steps Coordinator.  We also met with someone from EVSC to talk about possible services.  When Gavin turns three, he will no longer be eligible for First Steps.  If he still needs services, he has to get them through the school system.  The only possible service he needs is physical therapy.  I know that he will need some kind of physical therapy and if we can get it through EVSC, it will be free.  
Basically, there are several different possibilities (therapeutic preschool, pt but we would have to take him, no services, we could wait until he starts preschool next year and they could do services there).  It is a long process, so we will just have to wait and see.  Next, they do a home visit, followed by a full evaluation.  Then, we will meet as a team to decide what happens next. 
I'm a little overwhelmed by all of this and can't really focus on it until we get through the stuff on Friday:(
