Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Lawyer from Day 1. He was also never in a special preschool class.Special Day Classes are more restrictive than aides in mainstreamed classes .Just depends on your district.Sent from my iPhone Lori, how did you get a 1:1 aide for your child? I fought for one for my son and they said that they had to teach him in the "least restrictive environment" and an aide would not be least restrictive! All my son needs is someone to keep him on task and engage him when he gets board or distracted. He was "kicked" out of kindergarten (well, not kicked out but put into the autism program at a different school) because he was BOARD TO DEATH in class. He hated sitting for their carpet/circle time, would not sing or participate and just kind of rolled around. Plus all of the stuff they were doing in the beginning was stuff he knew! > > > I am curious.. has anyone tried homeschooling for your child with autism? Are there any resources available?

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I have read Abeka and BJU are strongly connected to the Southern Baptist ways of thinking. Do you feel this is true? I am going to start formally homeschooling this summer. I have heard good things about Abeka math. I am looking into Sexton too. If religion has to be involved in the curriculum I would prefer a more Anglican curriculum. Any suggestions? To: autism-aspergers Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 9:14 AM Subject: Re: homeschool I’ve homeschooled since the beginning. I didn’t get an Asperger’s diagnosis until he was 8. We have used Abeka, which is what many private Christian Schools use. This year we switched to their DVD program and I’m loving it! He watches a classroom setting where the teacher teaches the class and often speaks to “those of you watching†so we get the experience of being in a classroom without the social pressure. We are learning about taking responsibility for our homework, tests, and notes. I realize that’s a long process for our guys, but we are doing 6th grade so I’m hopeful we can get it done before college. My DS is in a social thinking group with a therapist who uses Winner-’s Social Thinking concepts. He is in there with other public schooled boys and does well. He doesn’t have the bullying or anger issues they have, but I don’t know if that’s all school related or just genetics. (My Dad, the Aspie, and a LONG fuse as well.) I am a curriculum junkie. I’ve bought and tried way more than I care to admit… to my husband… so if you would like to chat about it, I’m open to share what I’ve heard and learned.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks ! Catholic is fine. I went to a Catholic school. My mil has spoken so highly of Abecka and has said it is the only way..... she judges my mainstream faith and is always trying to indoctrinate her Southern Baptist ways on us. So I suspect this is another attempt. At the end of the day I just want a good curriculum. Which Catholic curriculum do you use? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like Becker's parent and teacher store too.

I do send my son to public school, but we are lucky that we live within a district that has been great for my son! True, he is very high-functioning, so he doesn't require the same resources that some others do, but he still has his issues, believe me. I am a professor, but teaching adults is completely different than teaching special needs children, so I sometimes struggle with helping my son with his homework after school. I've just been looking into supplemental learning options to do with him over the summer, as he'll be home 2 days per week with me. I went into Lakeshore Learning (not sure if there are stores elsewhere around the country, but they are online, too), and the people were fantastic! I explained my sons biggest areas of need, and they took me through the store to look at different things that might work for him.
