Autism Workbook
Autism light – need advice for starting kindergarten?
Need advice for a Kindergartner light which has some special needs related to autism spectrum. It is very soft hit, Is a bit academic above this need to know about his age but he has a language delay inexpressive and does not seem to understand the stories in books. I love Sonlight and five in a process line, but I do not think it will work with him. I 'm not even sure how to teach him and sometimes I just want to give up and let him go to school where there are special teachers trained to work with him. It is very challenging and that many times I know he knows the answer in a workbook, it just chooses another to see my reaction. Please advice if you have experience as a professional or if you are a homeschooling parent of a child suffering ASD.
I have an 8-year SD ASD, but it is the public school and always has been. I homeschool her brother deeply gifted. Most children on the ASD spectrum learn the best methods with audio-visual. My DD has learned a ton of products Leap Frog – DVD's toys, Leap Pad, Leapster, etc. In addition, she learns best when everything is on a computer. The programs are designed to be used DSA, however, are very, very expensive, so we have around the house. The main reason is PS'ed because of financial constraints we have. The school district has money to buy all the adaptive equipment and programs they need. Your DS is probably not understand the stories because they are not concrete. people ASD think black and white and have difficulty with social relationships. Thus, fairy tales and other flying just above their heads. Your DS will need a lot of visuals prompts. Do you use any system of exchange picture with him? Is there a device augmentative communication? Otherwise, this would be the first things on your list. Again, school districts can be a great help here. My speech DD board costs $ 15,000 – no way we can pay, but the school district. In some places, you can have your child's LRE (least restrictive environment) to homeschool. Then, you can always have a IEP for treatment services and supports from the district. Has he ever had an IEP or IFSP (early intervention)? Did you cover private treatment? All these issues are taken into account when making your decision of PS, SH, or a mixture of both. Yes, you're right – Sonlight and FIAR would * not * programs appropriate for a child ASD. You need something audio-visual and multi-sensory, such as K12: http://www.k12.com
