The one Becca is enrolled in is a public school for anyone in Pennsylvania. They work with us to develop the IEP, and they pay for all her services and therapies. This particular school has a couple of different curriculum options. One is a "virtual classroom" where most work is done online and affords an opportunity to interact online with the teacher and other students. The other option is a traditional homeschool curriculum, which I thought was best for Becca as she doesn't yet have the attention span to participate in the virtual classroom. The lessons are all planned, I just have to facilitate. It's probably not the best curriculum for many kids on the spectrum. She does well, but I have to modify it a lot. The school provides the computer, printer, books, and just about everything else we need. The teachers unions hate this option because they see it as taking money from the districts. But the district still keeps thirty percent of the money allotted for Becca even though they're doing nothing for her.<BR/><BR/>Interactice Metronome is a computer-based program that is supposed to improve attention, timing, and sequencing. For some reason I'm having trouble posting links tonight. I'll email you some info on it. I have no idea whether or not it will work for Becca. We're supposed to do it after we finish all the Tomatis loops.LisaLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386062623360758141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327046603551062561.post-66818687303475612062009-01-14T21:17:00.000-08:002009-01-14T21:17:00.000-08:00Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of a c...Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard of a cyber charter school.
