Thank you for the picture! I love it! Good start - slow but pleasant + compliant. Great job on centers! Today (c) gets to eat lunch with the principal. (Drawn star) Autism consultant from achievement center came in + we asked for suggestions re: hand-biting. She suggested "Chewre" - jewelery that is meant to be chewed - a necklace would be a good substitution. (Drawn down arrow?) ah - did quick ' net search -> "chewelery" or "chewlery". I will (checkmark) into this further - (T) may order it for (c) - it's about $15 for a necklace/bracelet set. Found on "Integrations catalog" website. Lunch w/ principal -(c) ate slow. To storytime, agitated, inattentive_ Biting hand, so I removed her to L.S. for break. Playing on computer. As for next week, I can take (c) for 4-5 hours a day if that works for you. I'll give you a call to Schedule. Art - learning about impression-ism. Watched movie about Monet's garden. To regular class for math. Had cupcakes with class. Ate only topping off hers, then vultured topping from someone else's. Redirected, too late + I tried to explain why we don't do that. Markedly less verbal/social* today. Also, I'm not sure what the meltdown during stroytime was about... otherwise ok. More foggy today. Discussed with Mrs. Hoggard including (c) for centers in regular class sometime soon.

(*)Cat's Online Notes:

I would like to point out the being social/verbal != being happy and successful.
