freeindeed Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 http://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/classical-core-curriculum-special-needs/special-needs-curriculum I am hoping to use Level A with my 6yo next year. I guess these packages are new. At least I've never seen them before. It's exciting to finally see something in the homeschool market that could actually work for my daughter! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeindeed Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 It really is cool. :) I feel like a curriculum company finally "gets it." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 That is great! You might want to cross post on the general Ed board so if people know someone who might benefit, it can get a wider audience, they might not look here but might know someone who could use it and be blessed by having something designed that well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Tharp Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, I second the cross-post idea! I wish this curriculum had been around when my oldest was young enough to benefit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 This looks really interesting. Level B looks like a good fit for my younger DD overall, though I'd need to tweak the phonics and math to make those the appropriate level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes, they do have more levels. The web page states that Levels 1-8 are coming soon. It also states that the special needs curriculum is for ages 2-21. Yippee!!! :hurray: Also, I will cross post. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in CA Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 This looks really interesting. Level B looks like a good fit for my younger DD overall, though I'd need to tweak the phonics and math to make those the appropriate level. This is what I plan to do with my almost 7 year old ds because those are his strengths, and he is doing very well in our current curricula (Bearing Away and MUS). I'm so excited to find something that addresses his difficulties and can't wait for it to arrive! From the samples, several of the activities are or reinforce therapy activities that his neurodevelopmental therapist has him doing. I even had many of the read-alouds :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshirtyogapantmama Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Very neat, thanks for sharing. I would love to see what they come up with for middle/highschool... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in CA Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Bumping...just because I was wondering if anyone else had purchased this (any level) and, if so, what they thought. It's way (WAY) too early for me to post a real review, but so far it's filling a need for us even though my ds isn't a perfect fit for it (like there is ever a perfect fit, LOL) :) My ds is beyond the current levels cognitively (guessing from the preview, cognitively he would probably place in Level 1) but is really benefiting from it in expressive language skills, fine and gross motor skills, and social skills (those place him in Level B). We are continuing with his current phonics and math to meet his cognitive needs and using Level B for the rest. At first I thought I would skip the alphabet and numbers lessons, but they have really been good for his fine motor skills. I think he is better able to focus on his fine motor skills because he has mastered the cognitive lesson (one thing to focus on instead of two?). I'm also enjoying the introduction of poetry and music (something we weren't doing at all). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynful Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I bought this but didn't use it. I have Levels A and B for sale actually. I looked through them and I really like it, but it's not quite what we needed. If anyone is interested in them, let me know. Maybe the other levels will come out soon so we can use them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you willing to separate items? I have a lot of the books. I would just need the lesson plans and the books I don't already own. I am interested in Level A. I am going to send you a PM.

If we didn't already have Level B, I'd so want to buy it! Level C is out and Level 1 is due to be released soon (I think by summer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have been using Level A with my dd7 for the past few weeks. It is a good fit, but I do have to modify it a bit. We are moving through it slowly, stretching a week over two-three weeks. I have to repeat things with my daughter several times in order for her to get anything from it. Also, she is not always cooperative with school, so that slows us down as well. In addition to all of that, she is semi non-verbal, usually only communicating her needs, singing random songs, or naming a few objects here and there. I consider it a good day if we cover two-three activities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbutton Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 A friend of mine has been finding the reference lists in Cheryl Swope's book to be really helpful if anyone with older kids is interested in using her book (Cheryl Swope is creating the SN curriculum for MP). I think the whole book has been something she's found helpful, actually. http://www.amazon.com/Simply-Classical-Beautiful-Education-Child/dp/1615382402 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheryl in CA Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Levels B, C, and 1 are now customizable :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommy5 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm so thankful I came across this post! This is the first time I've seen a curriculum geared toward kids with special needs. I think my oldest is just slightly beyond Level 1 - but I will be curious to see what level 2 is like. He is working on about a 2nd grade level (he is 12/6th grade). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 We are still very happy with Level A. I look forward to using the other levels. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
