Posts Tagged ‘homeschool’

There are so many books I have read and there are so many out there on homeschooling, gluten-free diet, healthy eating, Asperger’s and sensory integration. I have put links to several throughout my different blog posts but I felt these too were great resources to have and share with you. I put the Amazon links to them because you can look inside and check them out. We usually purchase ours used unless we are unable to find it used.

Nutrition/Gluten-free

I only have a cookbook all the other books I read on gluten free were from the library. Here are a few great links.

http://www.celiac.com/

Even if you don’t have celiac disease these are good sites with a lot of info.

Home school

We got the Math & Science for Young Children used, we paid less than half I think we got it on half.com but I can’t remember.

http://www.amazon.com/Words-Their-Way-Vocabulary-Instruction/dp/013223968X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253136866&sr=1-1

We got this one used too.

There is no need to buy every book on the market but David and I both have “special interests” (ie. obsession) in teaching our children and anything to do with AS. The best thing to do is check out different books and resources and see which ones best suit you. Every person has a different journey, each AS person and child is different and no one should ever feel obligated to do what other people do. Always seek out things and resources that fit your personality and ways that you learn and teach. Be yourself even when trying to find answers. Onward on our journey!
