20 oz., stainless steel vacuum insulated mug

Going to an IEP meeting is stressful. While the testing and the norms are important to know where you are and where you are headed next - but hearing “a typically developing child...” or “typically we would expect...” is a statement to that still cuts. Our first meeting, I took the “my child is everything but typical” mug and - just when I thought I was going to need to fight back tears - id grab the mug and hold tight to remind myself they were right - he isn’t typical. He’s everything but.
