Thank you for the three amazing articles!! Earlier this year, I noticed that I was trying to push my son through his school work. Then I cringed when I realized that I was "public schooling" my homeschooled child. So, we got in touch with Seton, spent close to an hour and 20 minutes on the telephone with a special service counselor, received the new curriculum a couple days later, and the doors to my son were opened even more. You are so right about autistic children having different learning styles. What works for Donald in reading, does not necessarily work for him with math. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the knowledge of the games, for reminding me (which I need constantly) that he truly is a gift from God, and that there is no school, like homeschool. Public schools may work for some children, but I feel that is too easily said if an individual has not taken the time and love to homeschool their children.
I've being researching about Autism and reading your blog, I found your post very helpful :) . I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog!
This is a great post! Thank you. Some of those ideas are so simple but effective. I'll have to play some of these games with him.
