OneStepAtATime Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 OhE, have you checked any local homeschooling groups to see if there are any moms there that might need it? You know, you might even consider renting it out or something. I have considered that myself. Renting it out for a fee. Although, honestly, my long-term plan if we stay in this area is to do some OG training and become a tutor at some point. There is such a desperate need where I live for OG tutors. Therefore, I think I am planning on keeping all of my levels. That rental thing, though, might work in the meantime.... And congratulations! Really moved through that super fast! Have you already ordered Level 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 :hurray: I don't need it, but--woo hoo! That's exciting you're done with that first step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Oh mercy, OneStep, I hadn't really thought about tutoring. I'd have to think about that. And yes, I posted it to my group locally. As far as being fast, well... I don't know. He frequently asks questions, trying to stretch things farther. I push him pretty hard, like way harder than I could push a stranger's child. We've been doing twenty sessions a week. It does feel like a whirlwind, lol. I mean, he couldn't even hear initial consonants and now he's blending together g-r-ow (face pictures or colored tiles) into words! That's hard stuff! L and R are formative for him with his speech, so we're having problems there. If your pronunciation of /r/ is not precise (and it's a really hard PROMPT, one I can't do, ugh), then you don't even get the right word. I actually think in a perverse way the apraxia made it easier. We did the PROMPTs heavily for the first 2 1/2 weeks. It's the ultimate multi-sensory, kwim? He's FEELING the prompts, slowing down to feel his mouth, looking at mine, looking at the pictures. It's just really powerful for him. I expect we'll continue to bust out the pictures as new concepts are introduced, just to keep bringing in that kinesthetic and keep it fresh. If you had a student who wasn't used to the prompts (on their face), it would be odd. You'd have to sit there and try to help them figure it out. Instead he gets the sensory input along with the sound and the picture. It's a terrific connect for him as a kinesthetic/tactile learner.
