Just ordered LHTH and excited!
Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:56 pm
I just put my order in for LHTH and am so excited. Does anybody know how many days/weeks before it will arrive?
My son Luke is 4 yrs old (turning 5 in June) and diagnosed with PDD-NOS (high functioning Autism) and my daughter Anna is turning 2 next month. I plan on using LHTH with both of them together, along with some KUMON workbooks for pasting, cutting, folding activities since my son is behind in gross motor skills he needs practice.
Luke was in Early Intervention therapies from age 19 mos to 3yrs old, then he was in a special Ed program 5 days a week from age 3 until January when i pulled him out of the school and decided to homeschool him. Since this is still his 2nd yr of pre-school, since January we have just been doing various Walmart wkbks and watching learning factory videos while looking through a million homeschool curriculums trying to find one that i wanted to try out. I decided to order NOW since i will be doing some work with him over the summer as well and probably by next January if he is ready i will order the next HOD program for him.
With Luke being behind in some developmental areas I am not sure how far behind he might be in some subjects. Though he will be Kindergarten age next year i don't know if he will be fully ready for the K program or not, which is one reason i am not starting him out on it in August but giving him some extra time and not starting till about January. (hopefully that extra half year will make a difference). I am going to give it a go with the Singapore Math Carrie suggests once he starts the K program (though i am open to the possibility he might do better with something like Math-u-see..we'll figure it out as we go). From everything i have read i think trying the Handwriting without Tears will be my best bet for him with Handwriting so i am glad with Carries program you can use whichever handwriting program you choose.
Anyone else have a child on the autism spectrum and is doing well with HOD? Are they at their age level or behind?
Look forward to getting to know all you ladies better.

We have many wonderful moms using HOD with kiddos who have varying special learning needs, so you'll be in good company.
