"I am thrilled with my daughter's portfolio. She "graduated" into a new class at church at the end of the month. Her teachers work on a rotating basis, and there are a good number who rotate in and out. It is impossible for me to talk with each of them personally about my daughter, so I left the portfolio with the director of the pre-school department and she made sure that all of her teachers saw it. I can see a big change in the way she is treated. I think that knowing her story and "where she is at" makes her teachers a lot more comfortable with her and with having her in their classroom. My daughter also began a new therapy program a month ago, so I gave a copy to them, also, and they said it was a big help."
