ST Math

I stumbled upon this video a couple of months ago.  




I went over to the website and checked it out.  I tried the demo myself and then let the kids try it out.  I was so impressed with the program and how it teaches.  Not only does it teach concepts well, I love that it also encourages the kids to try.  "Failure" is not something to avoid or fear, it is simply a natural part of learning and growing.  Problem solving is inherent.  And best of all is the joy that comes when they succeed after struggling through a concept.  Learning to work is fabulous.

It is more expensive than I like but.  I found a discount over at homeschool buyer's co-op which made it doable.  With 2 kids that struggle with language, this is a blessing.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Aspbergers and Autism


I found these guys about a year ago.  These young men, on the spectrum themselves, bring an insight that I desprately needed.  After their simple explainations I understood my son so much better.

Meet the Aspbergers Experts



 Ya know, the more I get to know people on the Autism Spectrum, the more I like them.  Of course I am biased with one of my own and a couple beloved brothers.  But...yeah.  They're Great!!
