Okay, so we got Sean's IEP back for his group - a six month review of his progress. And they just HAD to use the term 'sighted guide'. "Sean will walk sighted guide for blah blah".
WHY do we have to use this term? What fucking three year old kid DOESN'T generally hold hands with their caregiver while walking out in the wild? We just CAN'T normalize it, can we? We have to put the friggin' blindy stamp on it right away just so the kid will never get out from underneath it. Idiots. We can't just call it 'Sean will walk holding caregiver's hand for blah blah.'
I'm trying to decide if I should complain about this. I don't know. *sighs*
Edit: I did complain. (I had a few other things to mention too. I threw that in. I just really really hate that term.)
