Another step in my back to school preparation this year is to create an "About Me" letter to my son's teacher so he/she can get to know him a little better.
I went to my local Down syndrome network to see what sort of templates they used for this type of letter.
This one is a more comprehensive letter: http://www.cincinnatichildrens.org/assets/0/78/1067/1395/1957/b2ea7ed3-d099-4fe0-8597-590b9e58f690.pdf
Another friend sent me to her letter: https://word.office.live.com/wv/WordView.aspx?FBsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fdownload%2Ffile_preview.php%3Fid%3D399301396846565%26time%3D1374501547%26metadata&access_token=1622667183%3AAVK4s4EUUtwKka4Xfo8MNt3kX8P7DiL2rfHQqKRWFwFKhg&title=Get+to+Know+Me.docx
She advises that letters like these be no more than one page. I ended up creating my own based on the two templates above and sticking to the one page suggestion. The main thing I wanted the teacher to know is how much we love our son and that we believe in him and his abilities and will support him 100%as he strives to achieve his goals and his dreams.
