Carol, I'm interested in the booster chair. Could you send a picture or a site? Thanks! iammamapie wrote: I have chairs that you can strap kids in so they do not fall out of the chair. I use these for the

kids that are to little to be able to sit at the table and eat or do there work at a nice level. Booster chairs I guess they call them. The transition from High Chair to regular Chair. Anyway, Amber still likes to sit in them. And when she gets in one of her moods I do place her in the chair to keep her in one spot with out having to fight with her. She was sitting in one this morning eating. Climbed up in it on her own. She likes to sit in them , OR on top of the table. That might be an option for you. While you are getting your other kids going with there work. Carol P From: a Mesa <marya.mesagmail>Subject: [DownSyndromeInfoExchange]

HomeschoolingTo: DownSyndromeInfoExchange Date: Thursday, June 12, 2008, 5:59 AM I homeschool three of my kids but not Nicolas (DS) at this point. I do think about it at times and my thoughts are going that way again. But the reason it didn't work before was I just couldn't keep him constructively occupied when I worked with my other kids. The oldest is pretty independent but the middle two have learning disabilities themselves and so take some time. Nicolas just doesn't sit for seatwork long, and when I work with the other kids, he will be creating mayhem, getting into things. It has been so hard for him to find toys that he will engage with, other than Mr. Potato Head.As someone mentioned, it almost seems easier to me to homeschool than to battle the school for everything but I would have to at least get my oldest son working more independently. It still seems a long

way in the future!a__________________________________________________
