• Frustration with teachers repeatedly asking for guidance already provided in Shannon's comprehensive instruction letter
• Teachers demonstrating defensiveness when Shannon suggests someone might be "unwittingly" triggering Jacob's behaviors
• Failed experiment with CBD oil
• Safety concerns with school van driver
• Hilarious and endearing story about Jacob shaving
• Recent breakthrough moment
• Importance of scheduling IEPs as often as needed and bringing advocates to meetings
