Title: Caroline Daley- Importance of Documentation

CAROLINE DALEY:
What we found as a family is that it's really important to have great
documentation at school.
For Lauren, she's a 24 hour kiddo in our home and in our community.
And when we have really good communication between home and school
and excellent documentation about her communication style,
her given tools that she's using,
that we're able to continue that consistently at home..
and then even better than just having just mom and dad know
we have papers actually explain everything in pictures.
We're able to share that with grandparents, cousins, people in the
community.
Our child has been able to participate in all types of activities out in the
community because we're able to show
the director or the teacher, whomever's in charge, how she communicates right on
paper and
they feel so comfortable then inviting her to be a part of the community.
So everything that happens at school really does get to play out in real life
when everything's written down.
