In this episode I gave a glimpse about the 3rd re-review of our ORS application. IEP and safety concerns.

This Episode is more of a reflection-ish type. I also talked about Disability category and school options (US perspective - My hunch tells me we do not have something similar here in New Zealand)... Here it is - just something to think about. 

We have no guest today and perhaps for the next couple of weeks. I got hold up by me getting sick. I am just starting to get well... 

Anyway, hope you still get some value out of it given I was just talking out of stock knowledge. lol
