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

8/2 Hi K. ,

We're back. Kat had a great time but she was ready to come home . Try her jump roping !

Danuta

P.S. Can you make it tonight ?

Danuta -

Kat did well today - very little protests about work ! She was very affectionate to me at lunch & asked to play outside !

Can we tutor another evening the week ? Fr. had a 103 degree temp last night & I want to keep a watch on her . Any other night is ok ( 4pm still or would you rather go after school or later?)

Danuta

PS . Bridget want's to know if she can help out for a day , or lunch ?

8/10 Danuta -

Yes - one day next week is good . I'm sorry to report Kat was very disruptive on the bus she got out of her seat , kicked the aide in the stomach & was crying on her way in. I'm going to try talking to the bus people to see what we can do . She even tried to me when I spoke to her about it. I had her sit on the floor w/ her feet down until she was calm . She also was not able to buy her book that she brought in .

K.

P . S PE on Tues & Thurs can she wear shorts & sneakers?
