Today's Note

"Landon had a good day! Today Landon did a nice job imitating clapping hands, patting and waving during morning meeting. Today Landon had speech. Landon is in the beginning stages of using PECS {Picture Exchange Communication System} in order to communicate his wants and needs.

This was the note his lead teacher wrote in his book today. I enjoy reading his daily progress notes. One of the simple things I miss from Easter Seals, receiving the notes from his therapy sessions. However that process is slightly different here at Langley, we don't recive therapy notes, but we do recieve daily notes from his teacher--which is my new "Good Read of the day".

Far as PECS, I have been doing some research on this lately since it was brought to my attention from one of the SPED teachers and I'm very interested in learning more to help assist with his communication needs. I had said a while ago I was going to work on a new project by creating a picture system on the refrigerator using velcro, never knew there was an actual name for this system. I also came across some workshops for parents and/or educators I'm interested in and is planning to take next year; definitely looking forward to that.
