Maz- I agree that a communication book would be good. If this woman is a teacher and wanting to help her students, then it shouldn't be too hard for her to fill out. The amount of money you pay to send him to that school, you would think the teachers would be a bit better (don't think that's the right wording, but can't think of it now).
Keep pushing for the teacher to use the book.
My daughter has had a communication book since she was in early ed (2yrs old) and she is now 15yrs. I have always insisted on the teacher using it and they have never had any problems. It is essential especially for kids who cant express themselves enough to say if there are any problems, good achievments, etc and then there is always the keeping in the loop about appointments, equipment needs, therepists communication, etc.
W has a male teacher this year. Showed him the book and the folder and he was rapted. Discussed what we (meaning W and I)wrote on the first page and teachers he has are over the moon.
