Are. You. Kidding.

Hi Ms. C!

Happy Wednesday! I am a Clinical Director at Ed Supports services and
wanted to check in with you re: a couple of things. I am sorry we haven't
had time to meet face to face- have been running around a bit in other ASC
classrooms, putting out fires, helping to organize, etc.

We are giving a training on 11/30 after school from 2-5 at Foster re: a
specific social skills program for ASC that can be implemented in many
situations. We are also providing staffing in ASC classrooms to help
facilitate these skills. Would love to touch base with u re: you and your
staff attending(it is in lieu of the regular training)and other ways we
can assist in your classroom.

I could stop by your class briefly on Friday if you'd like an/or the week
we return.

Thanks!




Dear K,
    I have spent the last three years designing, collecting resources for, and effectively implementing my own social skills curriculum for ASC.  In fact, many of the resources Ed Supports has distributed in the past have come from my curriculum.  I would love to collaborate, and am always interested in new resources, but find a three hour training on how to use my own materials a bit unnecessary.  Please let me know if you think those three hours will be a good use of my time.  
   When I was offered support in the past there was no follow through, and it has been very frustrating to repeatedly be offered resources, only to ultimately end up making them myself.  I think we're doing very well in terms of social skills here at BH so please feel free to spend your time following through in the classrooms that might need more support.  I know that I would have loved the additional support during my first year in ASC.


Thank you.
