Updates on AX - 18 January 2009

It has been a while since I posted here. I simply lost track of it. I keep updates in my e-mail address and I have videos. He has hundreds of videos in www.youtube.com.

He has normal cognitive skills according to his psychological test given by the school in the 3rd to 4th quarter of 2008. This is a good news. I was a bit elated but somehow still felt bad because the psychologist chose him to remain in the autism cluster. He is mainstreamed in Math. He does well in that subject. He has a good teacher. Her name is Ms. Contento. Even in problem solving, he is now understanding that there are certain terms he needs to know if he will use addition or subtraction. He is doing well in multiplication although he has not memorized the multiplication table yet. He knows the basic in performing multiplication say, 3 x 4, he has to make/add 3 fours. I thought I could teach him division this long vacation from school in December 2008 but we taught him more of reading comprehension. He needs that badly.

There is a 4-day vacation again from school and I keep wondering why schools in the United States opt for too many vacation days.
