  1. :iagree: Workboxes are a life saver for me and my aspie!
  2. I would also recommend math mammoth. When we pulled my son from school into a k12 program, they had to place him back a whole year in math (thank goodness the grade levels were colors or he would have been so upset). That math did not work for him at all. Now that we are homeschooling, math mammoth has allowed us to go back and remediate based on topics - again, he has no idea of what the grade level is. Overall, he has done so much better with math mammoth and finally doesn't get upset when the math books come out. Also, Maria (creator of MM) will work with you to find the best placement.
  3. My aspie just gets so flustered and anxious about long division. He struggles with math in general but, this has been his greatest struggle of all! I will be checking out that link as well.
  4. Hi, this is our first year of "semi-homeschool.". We went with one of the virtual charter schools. However, about half way through, I realized that was not working and I started the search for homeschool curriculums. This board had some of the best review/ideas out there! I have 3 kids, ages 10, 7, and 2. Going with MFW-ECC right now but, seriously considering TOC once I have a good year under my belt. Still undecided on other things. You all make everything (curriculum) sound so good! :tongue_smilie:
  5. this looks wonderful, thanks for dropping such a great resource!
  6. Hi, my first post here... We had my son go through a formal diagnostic for autism spectrum because his school was having so many problems with him - one of our local universities did it. It was really cost effective and he loved the experience. We are now homeschooling him because, despite the aspergers diagnosis, he was still miserable in the school and actually regressed - almost like the teachers took this "well, he is aspergers so - just let him slide by" approach. They were really nice, just ineffective with him academically. So, at first I thought - wow, this diagnosis hurt us. However, now that he is almost 11, it has become very apparent to him that others regard him differently - the diagnosis has become part of his ability to cope and pinpoint what he needs to learn to be better in social situations. It also helped us discover valuable things like social stories that we may not have found if we didn't know exactly what was going on with our son. So, I went from thinking we shouldn't have bothered to really appreciating having the language and context for my son to move forward in his development.
