Breaking up is hard to do, part 2

Hello ____,

We will be withdrawing Julia at the end of August. We really appreciate all that you and the staff did for Julia for these past 8 months. We always knew she was well taken care of.

The reason we're withdrawing her is that she has received an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) for feeding, and her feeding therapist that she now sees weekly has made several recommendations. 1) Julia remain on bottles for several more months since she isn't as adept as she should be with the cup yet. 2) Itemized food and quantity daily log 3) oral exercises at most meals.

We know __________________ has already been accommodating enough to continue bottles on a temporary basis. Unfortunately, it looks like Julia will be on bottles for the foreseeable future and will need more notetaking and personal attention at meals than can be given. We found a daycare who can accommodate Julia's eating issues on a longer-term basis.

It is with great sadness that we leave ____________. Julia has truly enjoyed her teachers and her playmates. She has grown very attached to the older kids who play with her as well. We aren't looking forward to transitioning her elsewhere but know that getting her eating difficulties (particularly with liquids) straightened out as early as possible will help her in the long run.

We hope to come back to ________________ once she gets over these eating hurdles and is eating like a normal child.

Thank you,
