Note from Teacher

Andrew is doing a great job, overall. He is doing well with his schedule. We are getting ready to update
his assessment measures now that school is underway. We have been working on math and social skills.
I really enjoy Andrew.

Andrew's Week 8-24th/8-31st

Andrew had a very good week with us. The evenings were very laid back and calm. We only had to give him Klonopine once this weekend. He was getting anxious and kind of loud but nothing major.
We went to Lousiville on Saturday for a b-day party and he was very good, considering there were approx. 40 people there and we were there about 5-6 hours. He was ready to go and getting pretty loud at the end so we gave him his Trazadone as we were leaving town. He was great the rest of the evening. He was very happy this morning and ready to get on the bus......
I think getting his Trazadone by 7:30pm on weeknights works great for him so he is usually asleep by 9pm and well rested the next morning. We stick with pretty much the same schedule on the weekends to keep it in his system properly.

Yesterday from school

Hey Guys another week. Andrew is doing a good job. He completed his Ablls and did money math yesterday.
He confuses quarters and nickles when prompted, however sorts them appropriately. He has made a great adjustment. His sense of humor was showing yesterday when we played a word game. He had Martha and I laughing out loud.

I'll send another email at the close of today. Debbie Picard :-)

Message to teacher from mom

Thanks for your email, sounds like a great schedule for Andrew.

Is there anyway that he could work on his math earlier in the day? I’m sure he is very tired by that point and unable to concentrate as well. Not sure what your flexibility is with that but it might be worth trying.

Mike/I will send you an email when something is out of the ordinary for Andrew that we feel you need to be made aware of. You can email me anytime during the day with questions you may have.

Thanks

Today at School

Andrew is did a good job today. It amazes my how many machine he can distinguish by sounds.
He is getting use to the schedule. However, it will change next week. He will be getting out in an art class with myself and Matha during 2nd block. He will also be in gym initially with both of us at 1:45. Cooking will not start until Sept. when we will be in the community.

He is working with the ABLLS and knows quite a bit of it. Andrew does math in the afternoon and has a preoccupation with the bus. He is independent at lunch and orders/behaves much like his same age peers. He and Taylor eat lunch together everyday.

Thanks for your support,
Debbie Picard :-)

Andrew had a good week at Dad's house. He was a little wound up Saturday and we gave him 1 klonopine mid morning. The rest of the week was as normal with 40 mg. of celexa in the morning and 100 mg of Tramzadone between 7-8 pm in the evening.

Where to start....... Andrew is a 15 year old male. He was diagnosed as Autistic around age 3 1/2. I will try to give a better historical view at some point, for now I am looking to start this as a communiction tool for his teachers and parents. It might also be of interest to Andrew's family....and hopefully someday....FRIENDS!!!
