Re: Reading/info resources for teachers?

September 10, 2010

Connor has a great hearing interim teacher that set us up with a computer

program that was awesome. It is called learning today

http://www.learningtoday.com. It covers reading comprehension and math skill

including word problem comprehension. The phonetic awareness section really

change Connors speech articulation. Connor enjoys it. We did an hour a day all

summer and now we do 1/2 hour everyday when we can work it in. It is progressive

in that every time you loggin you must move to the next lesson. It is set up so

that in each lesson he wins a set of rewards and when the lesson is complete it

allows him to spend those rewards an a short visual game. When we sit down to do

homework Connor insists on doing his learning today first.

Good Stuff!

Bill

Subject: Reading/info resources for teachers?

Hi all,

I spoke to my son's new teacher tonight. She requested suggestions for reading

to help her learn more about autism/Asperger Syndrome, and I wondered if you

could give some recommendations (high functioning stuff). I'd like to include

info on sensory issues and how they affect processing, and motivation problems -

his biggest problem.

She doesn't have special ed experience, but honestly I believe that is going to

be plus because she won't have lower expectations. She truly seems to be

willing to do whatever it takes within her power to pull out what she believes

he is capable of.

I would like to give her any resources and I bet you know a couple of good

websites.

Thank you,

The Sensory Smart Child

Educate Toward Recovery

These are terrific. " educate " is pricey but worth every penny. We require my

son's caregiver/therapist to read Chapter 2 & 5 before they start.

Bill,

This seems very interesting, as my son has huge reading comprehension issues.

I am not sure if I did something wrong, but the website did not come up

correctly

for me. Can you help me with that?

Thanks,

Marilyn

Hi Bill,

Do you use the learning today at home and school? My son's private

speech teacher started doing this, but we don't have access at home.

Thanks,

Argie
