Kim, Thank you so much for writing back. I can just imagine how scared you
are about Cassidy's future. She does need a strong teacher and some
individual attention from someone who will be persistent and encouraging.
You are certainly that person with her, Kim!! The school environment needs
to be strong!
It is good that you are helping the teachers with her writing
at home. Home is a safe place for Cassidy and maybe when she accomplishes
her writing at home, then she will carry it over into the classroom.
The IEP meeting is right around the corner. Document what she does at home.
Take writing samples. Explain how you get her to do what she does. All
this info will help with her placement next school year.

Ok, Aunt Linda...I am a little slow at checking my e-mail. I am lucky to even have the computer on once a week between working and chasing after the children. I really enjoyed reading all of Kim's comments and seeing the pictures of Cassidy. DO NOT LET THEM STOP HER FROM GOING INTO KINDERGARTEN!!!! They DO NOT have a choice. Cassidy will be fine in kindergarten. Academically, she is ready which is terrific. Even with her behavior problems, they CAN NOT refuse to let her in kindergarten. She will need some accommodations that specifically address her behavior problems as well as a behavior intervention plan. This is all part of her IEP.
If you or Kim ever have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I work with several children with autism. Actually, I deal with behavior issues as much as I do academic issues.
Love,:-) Monica
Jill & Monica- I hope you two do not mind being quoted in this blog but you have both made some important comments that I need to remember.
