I'm contemplating using LHTH with my 3 year old daughter, who has ASD (full eval not done yet, but looking like Apserger's). Now, she has 4 hours of ABA therapy every day, from 12-4, and they cover a lot of preschool stuff, but I guess I just want to do something with her, personally... does that make sense? And she loves doing "lessons"... when she sees her brother doing them, she wants to do them (we normally do her 6 yo brothers lessons during her ABA therapy time). I also want a fun, gentle way to introduce God to her. I think we would use the 2/3 year old options since she is a bit behind in receptive language, and fine motor skills etc...

So what I'm wondering is, a few things:

1. How long does LHTH take each day with the 2/3 year old options?
2. Is it done every day, or just 3 days a week?
3. Has anyone used LHTH with an ASD child, at this young of an age?

LHTH takes 30 minutes and is done 5 days a week. My daughter did it at 3 and 4. I just changed to the higher level Bible the second go around and added preschool level workbook pages.

Even though it's scheduled 5 days per week, that doesn't mean you'd have to do it 5 days per week. I've been working through LHTH for about a year and a half with Evie and we are only on unit 20. We do it very very slowly. I'm upping it to 3-4 days per week this year so that I can start LHFHG with her when she turns 5. There were many weeks that we got 1 day done... some weeks we got none... other weeks we did it every day.

LHTH doesn't take long at all but it is really fun. It is scheduled to have 5 days per unit but you don't have to do it 5 days a week. My youngest just started LHTH this past week and I am intentionally doing it half speed so he can do it for two years and then start K. What I do is try to cover 2-3 days worth per week. We school 4 days a week so I do LHTH with him 4 days a week and just kind of spread at least 2-3 days worth of LHTH out over those 4 days. I also read him a picture book everyday and have him practice his letter everyday.
