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

3/2 Kat was fine afterwards , must of been what she ate in the morning !
Danuta
PS Kat was crying about a video that she saw, Bridget asked her "Why are you crying" She said "Because I am sad " Bridget asked "Why are you sad?"she said "Because I am crying "
Danuta - Wow!!
3/2 I need to observe each person who is working with Kat , some of the note indicate that they may be doing them differently than we are: Is Friday a good day?
Drill 8: she is only supposed to have the verb at this stage ( he and she has not been introduced )
PS : Kat was pale yesterday morning after breakfast we think it might be the cereal . I kept her home just in case she might repeat Tuesday's episode .

Thanks for having me observe, I got a lot of great ideas from everyone we will try and implement them this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing other "in action " next Tuesday. I'll write another note sunday to let you know how we made out .

Sunday ,
Kat went to PACT concert and had a great time , she danced and big part of it paid attention to the music. She imitated one of the singers and laughed whenever he made a splat sound . She made an approach to a little girl and tried to grab her hands to dance with her. (but when the girl didn't want to she pushed her)

* I am not sure how to get everyone aware of what we are writing , Especially if the note is dirrected to one person . Ithought if we could ask the person to initial it so that we can be sure the person got the message? see notes at top of pg drill 15& 8&21
* I added a second page with Behaviors for drill 21 please review & give me any comments. * only K. &I w/ be doing this initially
* I changed the verbal initiation sheet I will try to remember to keep it to one you may add any criteria for response inthh "R" column
