We actually did Classical Conversations with our daughter with special needs last year, along with Time4Learning. We have a large CC group that meets down the street and thought it would be a good place for her to have some ‘socialization’. What we liked is that she got to practice speaking in front of a group. However, nobody really reached out to her or played with her during recess/lunch. So this year we’re going to try a homeschool P.E. group as we continue to do Time4Learning. My older kids did the Challenge classes a couple of years and it was very good for them. This year T4L has added high school to their program.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. 😉
Janet,
Thanks for sharing. We’ve explored Time4Learning before. I actually did a review for them last year. I’m glad it’s working for your family. We’ve found Classical Conversations to be another method of learning that fits well with kids with special needs. My prayer has always been that our story would be able to help others. I hope it helps your friends.
Keep in touch,
Melissa
I want to share your post with some friends and a family member who have children diagnosed with ADD/ADHD.
I have a daughter with high functioning Down syndrome whom I have been homeschooling since the beginning. We have been so blessed to have found the perfect curriculum for her, Time4Learning. There is a link on our curriculum site about SPD that I’ve read before. So when I read this on your blog, that came to mind. I’d like to share it with you, since you may find it helpful, also. http://www.time4learning.com/SensoryProcessingDisorder.shtml
