My PECS School to Home Communicator is the book I needed five years ago. Now Archie is in a school with very good home-school communication. We have a book that goes back and forth in which pretty detailed information is provided. However, his previous school was not so good at letting me know what had happened each day, which at times caused problems – something like this would have helped us all.
The book consists of pages of symbols with spaces for writing. Two pages per day. So the teachers can tick which classes the child has attended each day. There’s space to detail any homework and a tick box to say whether the child enjoyed their lunch with space to detail what they have eaten. The second page allows the teachers to tick a symbol describing the child’s mood (with a choice of happy, sad, frustrated, okay, tired and grumpy) with room for comments beneath. Then finally a few lines for things the child has to remember.
The symbols make it easier for you to discuss the day with your child if you wish.
