Subject: Re: Hello

I am glad that the meeting went well. I am glad that Kim didn't budge nor should she ever. DO NOT SEND HER TO NEW CASTLE....EVER!!!! Cassidy needs to be around her general education peers. She will not be able to develop the social skills necessary to be successful if she is not around regular kids.

One of my students with autism has close to a 130 IQ. (Anywhere from 90 - 109 is considered average.) He is now in third grade and doing quite well. He has come a long way since he started in kindergarten. He has made great strides mainly because he has never been pulled away from his peers.

I am glad to hear that the school is providing an aide for Cassidy. She will do fine in kindergarten next year. Don't worry and never stop pushing for Cassidy to be in school with all of her general ed. peers.

Love,
:-) Monica
