Communication

You know those parents? The ones that teachers dread seeing walking down the hall? I think I may be becoming one of those parents.

Not only did I coerce Brian's regular-ed teacher to schedule five times for us to visit and work with her before school started, I also did it twice to the special ed teacher who was only hired a week and a half before school started.

Not only do I attend the first day of school with Brian every year (thus far) but I also do a weekly observation- though sometimes it may only be a half hour.

Not only do I ask for regular communication, I also made a communication journal to be completed by the teacher every day.

Communication is key to success for Brian and I truly believe that everyone needs to stay on the same page when working with him.

So far, all those who work with him, applause me on my commitment, communication, and involvement. So far they don't think of me as "one of those parents". So far.
