Need advice re Distar Journeys reading program for preschooler.

[Guest guest]

When I asked a similar question about the Distar Language series, the

responses were about evenly divided between people who followed the

scripts exactly and those who made modifications.

[ ] Need advice re Distar " Journeys " reading

program for preschooler.

I purchased this program b/c I was told this was the best way to

teach

an autistic child to read. My son already is sight reading

quite a

lot of words, and knows all his upper and lower case letters

well.

My question is that his teacher came to me today and said that

she was

having trouble modifying the program for him and his particular

needs.

Isn't the point of Distar to use the " scripts " provided? Are

modifications recommended for kids on the spectrum - or do they

just

hamper them down the road.

Thanks for any insight or experience you can share.
