How Jonathan is now ???

After 3 years of hard work and thanks to the school and the Autism Waiver, he's progress has been very amazing. He can read at a fifth grade level, he even amazes his teachers and he uses the computer like nobody in house. Here is the report from his teacher Melissa Grant at Maryvale Elementary School:

3/7/03
"Jonathan's week was pretty good.He's talking more , making requests with prompting and asking for help.
Academically he's doing very well.
This week we've been talking about more or less during story time,art & crafts. He's definitly generalizing these skills"

"Jonathan is displaing some very appropriate silly behavior. It's really nice to see this side of him. Over the past week, Jonathan had 2 tantrums on the 20th. he had 1 time out between the 2 and was able to return to the group..."

"He  had a wonderful week in the school. He's had 2 tantrums that lasted under 3 minutes. He's recovering much better as well...
He's been greeting his friends & staff independently, wich is great. During work time, he's very attentive, following directions and moving along with his drills."
