I wanted to post the books and other resources I have found and plan on implementing into our school curriculum. I have found that Daniel comprehends a lot at his age level and beyond school levels but if he is hindered by social or sensory issues he seems to not be able to do anything. My focus is to help him understand what he is feeling, how to communicate, understand social situations and be able to focus for school, just to name a few. Here are the links to some resources, there are several that are actually on order right now so I have not used them or read them but I plan on sharing what my take on them are after I have.

We are currently using Aha! Math and I have it posted on my Back to Home School post as well but Daniel does really well with it and he is able to focus longer on it than if I use worksheets. I am really impressed with the EasyTech lessons also they are really great.

I have been using this site for several months and I do like everything I have tried so far. They give some great insight as well.

We currently have this book on order which I found on their site. They are on Facebook too and give great resources through that.

We have not purchased this one yet because Daniel is so much of a visual thinker but he also loves music so we are trying out other ones first. It still looks like a great resource.

Also awaiting arrival is this dvd that seems like it will be a bit of fun for the kids.

I have looked into to this one as well but currently we do not have the funds to do it. We can find books pretty cheap but  we have to budget for subscriptions. I do like that they give free video clips each week that give ideas, how to’s and tips.

I have looked into this one as well. It looks very good but we just do not have the funds for it.

I am constantly researching and looking into resources and curriculum to use and I feel that it is very important that I do so. I guess at some point I really should write reviews on them but I really wouldn’t put them on here unless I thought they were worth wild. I also may not agree with some of these points of view about autism but to me that really doesn’t matter any longer. I do not have to agree with people to use their resources that are very good and can help my child. I believe that even though there may be different points of view about the autism issues, we all have the same goal, to help our children and do what is best to help them have a wonderful life. My two cents and now here is another resource link.

I have used this one on several occasions.
