Problems start.

Valerie started her public school career at age three in a special ed preschool program.When she had to go to kindergarten she had to start riding the bus forty-five minutes to school every morning. School went well (or so we thought),for quite a while. Then the problems started. Every other month it seemed that there was a new isssue to deal with. The teacher would not even call us back when I wrote notes or called. We got accused of sending her to school in dirty clothes,poor personal hygiene ect. It turns out that the school bus had no air conditioning, so that explained the hygiene issue.She also has been known to change clothes several times a day out of need. People with developemental disabilities like autism do tend to get messy more than neuro-typical folks. All we knew was that I was sending her out the door clean and smelling good in the mornings.
