My son has Down Syndrome and I've been told that he can learn most anything, you just have to find his particular 'learning pathway' for him to master it. Well, we have been working for years on time and money, with very little progress, but in the last 4 months he has mastered time and money with 30 minutes a day useing this program. An unexpected bonus was he picked up fractions in the process, something we hadn't even tried yet thinking he wasn't ready! I am so thrilled with this program that I am looking for other programs by School Zone, hoping to have similar success. I know I sound like a commercial, but I honestly have no affiliation with this company. Maybe I should!
I do need to add that Ben is a very visual learner, so that might have helped, for this program is designed for such. I can see how some moms see this as an electronic workbook, but there is an immediate reward element as well as games occasionally that helps relieve the inevitable monotony, along with the keyboard advantage for kids that struggle with writing. Ben also liked the aspect of finishing all the pages, at the bottom of the screen it gave him a visual of how many he had left to do.
I can't say that Ben was begging to do this program because it was so fun, but making it a required part of his homeschool, it was easy to get him to do his 'math'. I try alot of different learning programs in search of ways to teach Ben, and I am thrilled with this particular School Zone product. I'm happy to answer any questions by email, and would love to know other mom's software discoveries.
