Today, a perspective from a mom friend:
"This summer I am leaving the majority of homeschool
subjects to the little guy's dad, his tutor, and his big
brained therapists. What am I working on with him?
Reading comprehension. Every afternoon I write
sentences that are pertinent to C's life, and then have
him read them aloud and then answer written questions,
sentences like : "I like to watch youtube videos about
elevators. Some elevators are made by Schindler or
Otis."
Working on reading comprehension is a pretty tough
workout, and today, I tried to approach the concept of
"why". I remember a television show talking about
"why" as a "nasty little protestant word", and I think C
feels the same way about it. It is now after 5:30 and I
am pouring a very rare and well-deserved daytime
cocktail."
Another mom mentioned the existence of a book by an
autism mom on how to approach why, how, and similar
concepts. Anyone out there know the author's name or
the title?
Why? Because I could use some help.
