PeterPan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thought I'd throw out some of the things our neuropsych suggested to us as I have a chance to go through them. Here's the first: http://www.donjohnston.com/products/draft_builder/index.html Draft Builder. We've all heard of Inspiration. This is similar but apparently focuses more on the STEPS of the process and helping them with structure. Has any body used it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I haven't used it, but thanks for sharing. :) I look forward to learning about any of the gems you desire to share with us from your dd's neuro-psych. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyomarie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I haven't used it either but I think this might be a better software than Inspiration for my son. Neither of my kids with writing difficulty really got into Inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I know, the idea of Inspiration seems neat, but I think what you're saying might be true, that it might not be explicit enough on helping the kids develop STRUCTURE and holding their hands. And it was interesting to me that the vendor at that link sells both and could contrast them. I need to go back and run the demo video. The price was sort of ouchy. Hey, we should get HBC to do a group buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll write them. Maybe they could. I could wait a month for it if they could get something moving. :) I looked up a lot of the books he suggested and will start tossing them out. Some were ones I've seen mentioned before (Smart but Scattered), but some were very different. One was pricy, at $30, but it had really awesome charts in the back for students to use for various tasks. So I'll look those up again and start posting them.

PeterPan Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 http://www.amazon.com/Promoting-Executive-Function-Classroom-Special-Needs/dp/1606236164/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322870384&sr=8-1 Here's a juicy one. It has tons of forms in the back and lots of practical ideas on how to apply concepts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulubelle Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 One I Michele, I am interested in the books you have mentioned. Are you talking about Linguistystems for elementary and adolescent? If not, can you send a link to the specific books. They sound great! I could really use them with my ds9. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
