Guest missbrink Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have a 6 year old with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Last year he went to PS and was in a PPCD program. He pretty much already passed Kindergarten. Being that I was new to homeschooling this year- I got my feel with my older son. We use Time 4 Learning (and many other programs) - for our curriculum although that is the base. In January I started my 6 year old (who loves the computer) on Time 4 Learning- but at the Kindy level? It's moving to slowly. It's also too repetitive. I don't think however, he is really ready for the 1st grade level. He still has more to learn regarding understanding phonics. In Public School? He had a "smart table" - a giant table that was a touch screen- that was the basis of his learning- so I am thinking we need to invest in a tablet of some kind (I have been dragging my feet on an iPad forever). His fine motor skills are very poor- he can type but has trouble writing, he seems to memorize some words but very few things seem to hold his interest. I am wondering if anyone has some suggestions - if they have children on the spectrum I am interested in any/all suggestions! Just looking for something that will keep my son engaged! Games, websites, projects- ALL of it! Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 We use an iPad heavily with my 4yo, and I have definitely started searching for apps to teach her concepts as we go. I don't have time to post what I have found, but I'll try to come back to it later today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
