[curriculum for AR tornado victims]

Does anyone know where curriculum could be sent within AR for tornado victims? I would like to avoid paying shipping if possible.

[homeschooling in Little Rock]

My family will be moving to Little Rock, Lord willing, in the next year some time.  Would someone fill me in on the homeschooling climate there, a brief overview of the process with the local school districts, etc.?  Thanks.

 

[Anyone have experience with Landry Academy]

good, bad??? I'd like to hear reviews.

 

Thanks,

[I'm seeking advice re: bringing daughter home after two years of private school]

she was homeschooled until ninth grade, but she would not work for me. She admits she was skating. She's been in private school now , and while it has not been a bad experience, I miss her, and hate the demands on time that "regular" school makes. I've been talking to her about coming home next year. I think we'd need a serious talk about what courses to take, what our expectations are regarding her performance, extracurricular activities, etc. I'm sure some of you have done the same thing, and I would like to hear your best advice, etc.

 

Thanks!

[Anyonehere had a triple arthrodesis?]

For a severe pronation of the foot. I think I have some typos here, but not sure. A friend's doctor is recommending this for her, but she's not sure. Thanks!

[Sweating over CAT in NY]

I'm a NY homeschooler, and NY is probably one of the most regulated states in the country. My dear daughter just took the CAT for a 5th grade level. Can anyone tell me how I can figure what she might have made? The suspense is killing me. She only scored 29th percentile last year;we didn't have to turn those results in. If she scores the same or higher, she shows a year's improvement, and we'll be fine, otherwise we go on probation. Thanks!

[Home school books for tornado victims]

Has anyone heard of efforts to help out the home schoolers who were victims of the storms? I have books I no longer need and would be happy to donate if I knew where to send them.

[Plantar Fascitis--what has helped you?]

then started glucosamine chrondroitin...from Trader Joe's. That helped a lot!

Then started wearing Crocs RX...also helped. But things seriously improved when I started wearing Merrell sandals. I really think they stretched my foot. I was able to wear normal shoes and go barefoot. My foot still hurts from time to time, but I go back to those Merrells and it stops. I'm not even taking the glucosamine chrondroitin now. I really thought I'd have to wear Crocs for the rest of my life.

[Does My Father's World give conference discounts?]

Just wondering if anyone knows. Thanks!

[Story bridging?]

Has anyone here heard of story bridging? My friend's neurodevelopmentalist put this on her son's program. You start a story and ask your child if it reminds them of anything, then they respond and it continues back and forth. Sounds as if it would promote the give and take of conversation. We see a neurodevelopmentalist, but have not been given this particular therapy.

 

If you know of this and have used it, how did you do it and what benefits did you see?

 

Thanks,

DebonLI

[anyone here used Hope and a Future, a neurodevelopmentalist?]

doing research for my daughter. I'd appreciate any input, pro or con.

Thanks!

[Tiger Schulman's martial arts for child?]

My daughter is 10, has language delays, auditory processing disorder. We're going to a neurodevelopmentalist and working on mixed dominance, mental processing. I'm thinking a sport would be a good idea. Has anyone tried martial arts for a child with these issues? Was it beneficial? I would appreciate any input. Thanks! Debbie

[Anyone here a medical transcriptionist? I'm thinking aobut it...any advice?]

I just joined a very negative Yahoo Group for MT's. They are saying India is getting MT jobs because they do the voice recognition stuff. Does anyone here know anything about this?

[Looking for fun ideas to teach physical geography in a co-op for 4-5th graders]

I started out drawing maps and labeling physical features. I'd like to do a biome along with this and draw some of the animals. There's too much time left over though. It's only an hour and these kids are fast!

 

Any good, fun ideas?

 

Thanks,

Debbie

[Central Auditory Processing Disorder]

Hi,

 

Would you folks with a child with CAPD post what therapies/interventions your child had that yielded the most benefit? I'm looking for answers.

 

Thanks,

Debbie

[Recommendations for improving reading comprehension.]

Hi,

 

My daughter was recently tested in reading and it was found that she can read on a 7th grade level but only comprehend on a 2nd grade level. She's 9 and in the 4th grade.

 

Do you folks have recommendations for me?

 

Thanks in advance,

Debbie

[anyone heard of Liberty Consultants, a neurodevelopmentalist in CT?]

would love to hear what you think...thanks, Debbie

[Brain Gym???]

Anyone here used this program? Have you attended a workshop that teaches the 26 exercises or read the book? Was it beneficial for your child? I'm looking for help for a child with APD. Thanks...Debbie

[Just NOT getting math!!]

Hi,

 

I feel your pain. My daughter is younger but when I realized she was only memorizing math facts but not understanding what she was doing, we went to Making Math Meaningful. It helped her a lot with concepts. We're doing a "traditional" math program now.

 

Hope this is helpful.

[9 year old reading aloud]

Does anyone else have a child who decodes well but still reads out loud to themselves? What does this mean, if anything? Is there anything I can do about it? I'm currently using Visualizing and Verbalizing with her to increase her expressive language and help her reading comprehension.

 

Thanks,

Debbie

[Earobics?]

We've seen results with Earobics 1 as well. My daughter was tested by a audiologist for APD and did poorly in some segments of the testing. When she went back, there was a big improvement after using the Earobics. We'll move on to 2 when she's finished with 1.

[using narration to increase focus and ability to "tell what happened in my day", etc.]

I'm looking for tips to gently teach my 9 year old how to narrate. She can't tell us what she does in Sunday school, at a play date, etc. She will cop out by saying "I don't know!" but I know it's just too hard for her. I think the practice of narration will be the key to helping her. Do any of you have tips, know of products or have any advice that would help me?

 

"Officially" she's PPD-nos with language delays and some sensory issues. She's a sensory seeking kid. She's also be dx'd with auditory processing disorder and had AIT, which seemed to help.

 

Thanks,

Debbie

[Does your microwave oven speak to you?]

freaky.

[I'm NOT, I'm NOT, I'm NOT, I'm NOT, I'm NOT]
