Nicky URGH... I wonder if the prep teacher fully understands Asperger's... I mean often with "Normal" children, prep progression is due to social maturity, but our little kiddles won't have that social maturity... if they ever get it... Its not part of their beings.

Do you have someone helping? I mean a play therapist, OT or psych? Social worker etc etc?? I think if it were me, I would have ask for another meeting with some information regarding early childhood education and Asperger's.

We are deciding what to do with Matilda at the moment. Matilda has decided that she can't read. So the school has put 1 older child with Matilda everyday she's there to read with her, and then she does some sight reading stuff with the teacher's aide (who she connects with) for 30 minutes a day. The TA has said she's doing much better dealing with reading at another angle... sight rather than phonetics. So thats a huge breakthrough... The other thing is that Matilda knows words and will read them everytime she see's them, but if you ask her to read them, she won't. She's so afraid of failing, that she won't even try. If it were climbing the side of the building, she wouldn't have any problems... *groan*
