And we are up to the challenge!</p> <p><strong>One of the beauties of homeschooling is how easily it can be adapted to meet the needs of our children with special needs.</strong> Parents can give children who have ADD, for example, short lessons, frequent breaks, and set up a distraction-reduced environment within the home.</p> <p>When given directions, these children can hold and manipulate a small toy – and does not need an individualized education program (IEP) to do it. Children who have difficulty listening, can work with written instructions. Listening skills can be practiced in a gradual way.</p> <p>Children with sensory needs can work on an exercise ball, take sensory breaks by going outside and doing cartwheels, or swing slowly in a swing – to meet their needs. They can learn their multiplication tables through bean ball toss games or while jumping on a small trampoline! And children on the spectrum don’t have to deal with the stress of a classroom full of stimulation.</p> <p><strong><em>Our children’s strengths can be promoted, while working on difficult subjects at a pace that meets our children’s needs.</em></strong></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-learning-challenges-amp-special-needs-homeschooling-the-homeschool-mom-s-perspective">Learning Challenges & Special Needs Homeschooling: The Homeschool Mom’s Perspective </h2> <p>Each author will bring you their experiences and knowledge in working with special needs.

Just had to share what has helped us. My two with cognitive delays have the hardest time with math. Touch Math has been a huge blessing for them. We had tried several other math programs but they all moved too quickly and covered way too much including my favorite Math U See. Math U See has worked great with my other two kids but my two with big learning challenges needed something else. I had spent three years trying to teach my daughter addition and she finally got it with Touch Math and has now moved on to subtraction which she also understands. You can order a free instruction DVD on the Touch Math website and they have lots of worksheets you can pay for in individual packs. I found Touch Math workbooks for sale at a big discount on ebay.</p> <p>The other curriculum I wanted to share is Apples and Pears spelling. This is a British program but it is the only thing that has worked for my son who is terrible at spelling. We had tried Sequential Spelling, Natural Speller, A Reason for Spelling, and All About Spelling. I was so hoping All About Spelling would work but we went through two levels and my son still couldn’t apply the spelling rules in his written work. My son is finally improving in spelling thanks to Apples and Pears. I had just about given up hope that he would ever learn to spell. </p> <p>I hope these suggestions can help another family who is struggling to find a curriculum that works for their special learners.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-11412" data-commentid="11412" data-postid="5236" data-belowelement="article-comment-11412" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Amy" aria-label="Reply to Amy">Reply</a></div> </article> </li><!-- #comment-## --> <li class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-16542"> <article id="article-comment-16542"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <img alt='' src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%2096%2096'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-lazy-srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2785bc5e31044c1983379fdf81c5ee80?s=192&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' decoding='async' data-lazy-src="https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2785bc5e31044c1983379fdf81c5ee80?s=96&r=r"/><noscript><img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2785bc5e31044c1983379fdf81c5ee80?s=96&r=r' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2785bc5e31044c1983379fdf81c5ee80?s=192&r=r 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo' height='96' width='96' decoding='async'/></noscript><span class="comment-author-name"><a href="https://freeindeed-redkitchen.blogspot.com/" class="comment-author-link" rel="external nofollow">Jennifer Smith</a></span> <span class="says">says</span> </p> <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time"><a class="comment-time-link" href="https://thecurriculumchoice.com/special-needs-homeschooling/#comment-16542">March 1, 2013 at 8:24 pm</a></time></p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Thanks!

We use Teaching textbooks 7 now but our child throws extremes tantrums when the laptop opens and it’s something that the child thinks she/he won’t understand. For the most part it has went well but it’s when there is a new concept ie: why we use % in the real world the child got very upset,crying, fingers in mouth,red. All other subjects are going really well. We read out loud to one another,child has done lapbooks, loves to do crafts. This is 2nd year homeschooling. Any suggestions for curriculum would be awesome. Child wants to become a kindergarten teacher. Ps no formal diagnosis, micropreemie, public school till end of 5th ,nonverbal to everyone but us age 0-7 .Thank you</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-239365" data-commentid="239365" data-postid="5236" data-belowelement="article-comment-239365" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Dawn" aria-label="Reply to Dawn">Reply</a></div> </article> </li><!-- #comment-## --> </ol></div> <div id="respond" class="comment-respond"> <h3 id="reply-title" class="comment-reply-title">Leave a Reply <small><a rel="nofollow" id="cancel-comment-reply-link" href="/special-needs-homeschooling/#respond" style="display:none;">Cancel reply</a></small></h3><form action="https://thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform" class="comment-form" novalidate><p class="comment-notes"><span id="email-notes">Your email address will not be published.</span> <span class="required-field-message">Required fields are marked <span class="required">*</span></span></p><p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">Comment <span class="required">*</span></label> <textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength="65525" required></textarea></p><p class="comment-form-author"><label for="author">Name <span class="required">*</span></label> <input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="" size="30" maxlength="245" autocomplete="name" required /></p> <p class="comment-form-email"><label for="email">Email <span class="required">*</span></label> <input id="email" name="email" type="email" value="" size="30" maxlength="100" aria-describedby="email-notes" autocomplete="email" required /></p> <p class="comment-form-url"><label for="url">Website</label> <input id="url" name="url" type="url" value="" size="30" maxlength="200" autocomplete="url" /></p> <p class="comment-form-cookies-consent"><input id="wp-comment-cookies-consent" name="wp-comment-cookies-consent" type="checkbox" value="yes" /> <label for="wp-comment-cookies-consent">Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.</label></p> <p class="form-submit"><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" class="submit" value="Post Comment" /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='5236' id='comment_post_ID' /> <input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' /> </p><p style="display: none;"><input type="hidden" id="akismet_comment_nonce" name="akismet_comment_nonce" value="2956bba7d7" /></p><p style="display: none !important;" class="akismet-fields-container" data-prefix="ak_"><label>Δ<textarea name="ak_hp_textarea" cols="45" rows="8" maxlength="100"></textarea></label><input type="hidden" id="ak_js_1" name="ak_js" value="74"/><script>document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() );</script></p></form> </div><!-- #respond --> </main><aside class="sidebar sidebar-primary widget-area" role="complementary" aria-label="Primary Sidebar"><h2 class="genesis-sidebar-title screen-reader-text">Primary Sidebar</h2><section id="text-493209872" class="widget widget_text"><div class="widget-wrap"> <div class="textwidget"><p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-18491 size-full" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20500%2098'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt="" width="500" height="98" data-lazy-srcset="https://thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent.png 500w, https://thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent-300x59.png 300w" data-lazy-sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" data-lazy-src="https://www.thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent.png" /><noscript><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-18491 size-full" src="https://www.thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent.png" alt="" width="500" height="98" srcset="https://thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent.png 500w, https://thecurriculumchoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/TCC-Logo-500px-transparent-300x59.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></noscript></p> <p>We are a veteran group of home educators with a mission – to spread the word about our favorite curricula and help YOU make informed decisions for your homeschool.
