This daily correspondence between schools she attended and us gives you a glimpse of our daily life. Most parents of typical children do not communicate on daily basis with the teachers. This gives a reader an insight to how important daily communication is for a child with autism.
Kat has attended school since she was 3 years old. These are school notes that were result of correspondence with her parents and her teachers. We have made comments at a later date reflecting back on the impact of these events. Kats School Notes Index

Kat had a pretty good day. Seemed to have a lot of excess jargoning today (we are working on "quiet mouth" & redirection). She is eating well (as doing as someone reminds her to use her spoon - L. mentioned you are working on this at home & we are now also working on Kat using her spoon or fork independently-) The unit this week is "Seashore." Suggested activities for home: 1. Sand play - Having Kat hide things or find things in the sand. If you wet the sand a little, it will change the consistency, then let Kat play in the wet sand. 2. Beach ball play. (This is a good activity to involve Bridget in also). Have Kat throw & catch the beach ball with Bridget. 3. Play with shells in the sand or in water. Have her feel the outside of shell and emphasize that feels "rough" - Have ehr feel the inside of the shell and emphasize "smooth". Work on "rough" - "smooth" concept. Thanks again for the book, I'm sending it home in Kat's bag
