[blindkid] 2nd into 3rd grade IEP

[*2sday*]

Hello all     :) 

I recently updated everyone on here about Joey's recent vision loss and I thank you all for your responses. I'm trying to get some input for Joey's IEP meeting that I will be having in a couple months. Joey is currently in the 2nd grade. In the beginning of the year we put together his IEP with an aide and assistance with work. It included a lot of one on one as well. We revised it to include a CCTV which Joey was able to use until recently. I have been going back and fourth trying to decide if I should put Joey through to the 3rd grade or hold him back in the 2nd. I feel that Joey didn't learn anything in 1st grade as we were just finding out about his vision issues so he went in the 2nd grade very behind. He has learned some things this year but is still very behind. My fears are that he goes into the 3rd grade and is SO behind that he gets frustrated and we get nowhere. I don't want him to feel bad about he held back or upset him that his class
 mates will be moving on and he will not. I'm still torn on what to do here. 

What I'm needing help or opinions with is Joey's IEP. Seeing how he is now Blind with some light perception what should I be asking for? Does he need a TVI? I'm sorry to sound so uneducated about this but I am just that. I don't know what I need for him or where to go for assistance. 

any input is helpful



Thanks
