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 is doing better with coloring & cutting. When her fingers are placed in the loops & I help her hold the paper, she can cut across the page. She is also imitating 1 - 0 & when scribbling for longer periods (several minutes).

I am sending in Kat's favorite animals. If you put them in front of her she sings Old Mac Donald and Mary Had a Little Lamb. Thanks for the game we will try it out today.
Sorry I forgot to send the notebook in.

The unit this week is on tools. Kat is doing OK. Seemed a little lethargic today. Doing well with identifying same - using a cup, fork, spoon, & block - she gave "same" object on 3 out of 4 trials. We are going to now use other objects that Kat is familiar with and have her give the same to see if the skill is carrying over.
