We are going thru the first headsprout product to try and get DS's reading fluency issues cracked. He can read, very slowly and painfully so I thought given everything that was going on we'd do the first product this term before trying to start the second product in January when his scars from school have healed a little more.
DS is being homeschooled this year, using an online school. This is freeing up the time to spend on those pernicious issues that MS seemed unable to address but that it was bloody obvious was holding back his learning iykwim.
Quick question as I can't find it in the user guides. What cut off grade do you use to decide whether to repeat an episode. DS has been scoring 95-100 until today when he only scored 76%.
Also his audio processing skills are so poor that if you clap 7 times, he can't count the claps accurately. (Proper waste of 2 years of self-funded music lessons imho as his guitar teacher never picked up this). No wonder his reading fluency is compromised and his receptive language skills are delayed. I want to see some sort of specialist to help me address this and don't mind going private. Who do I ask to see? is it an APD wise audiologist or an OT or both?
