Visiting Miss Jill
I have mentioned earlier in this blog that Cassidy had a very special teacher named Miss Jill last year. And I also mentioned that I ran into her at an autism workshop in Muncie last month. We talked about reuniting them and finally got to it on Saturday.
We arrived around 10 AM on Saturday. We were greeted on the porch by Jill and her old, blind bichon named Opie. Being the intense animal lover that she is, Cassidy was so happy to see Opie. Miss Jill didn't mind being upstaged by her sweet doggie. She was just so happy to see Cassidy again.
She had a present waiting for Cassidy and it took no time for her to locate it on the kitchen table. It was a karaoke machine. Cassidy was so happy but there was so much to see and do at Jill's house that she couldn't think about it too long.
Cassidy got the privilege of getting to play with Jill's turtle collection and a lovely box of wooden bees. She also couldn't get enough of poor Opie. That kind, gentle dog waited patiently as she dressed him in hats, glasses and towels (pajamas).
Miss Jill was impressed with the progress she had made and told me that she was learning at an appropriate pace for a child her age. I talked to her about Cassidy's behavior and how I felt that her coping skills could stop her from advancing on into Kindergarten.
She remembered Cassidy's fragile temperament and agreed that it is a problem. She told me that I have a RIGHT for the school to send her through and supply her with an aid. Talking with her was very helpful and informative to me. It's nice to have her on our side.
We will definitely go back for more visits. This was very good for Cassidy. She is able to reach her like no one else.
Thank you for everything Jill.
