Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 , One good place to start might be to get on the SID list. You'll find lots of helpful moms there with lots of experience with those kinds of issues. Here's the web address: sid/?yguid=92408232 All the best, Ann > We are looking for an educational avenue which will effectively and > efficiently maximize learning potential for our 8 yr old son who has > missed so much at this point.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but we take our son to the NACD (National Academy for Child Developement, I think that's what it stands for). It's based in Ogden, Utah, but has centers around the US and they do video for those out of country. They have helped my son alot. It's funny you mentioned deep pressure. This is one thing they really dwell on. It may be something you want to look into. Their web site is www.nacd.org I believe. Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 I don't know if your son is up for it, but some ASD kids do very well with karate. My five year old loves him classes and it's been helping him a great deal. HTH, Avril, mom to Gerry (2/19/97) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
