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

2/18 Kathy ,

We just realized that the " Hey Diddle . . . " song is not the version Kat knows. We thought Mary Had a little Lamb may be better . She also likes Jingle Bells .

Danuta

PS Thanks for the Art Questions . I copied them
