RECOMMENDATIONS:
 ■ Provide highly-structured environment in which the child's brain is connecting to his world
■ Specifically teach manners, social relationships in a structured setting (ex: taking turns, etc.)
■ Teach the child to take turns in speaking or playing in a game by using visual helps (such as a
   "turn" card which each child will hold when it is his turn to speak or play)
■ Use visuals attached to words so the child can learn to read them
■ Teach reading concepts using visual reminders for phonics rules
■ Avoid wordy directives as the child may not be able to retain it all
■ Use visuals or concrete objects to teach reading and math
■ In teaching skills, actually move the child's body through the process, whether tying his shoes or
   any other physical skill
■ Put sequences of directions in pictorial form on paper (such as tasks to do to get ready for bed)
■ Use the topics of high interest for teaching (ex: if he likes dinosaurs, use them for math problems)
■ If the child is good at drawing, have him use that gift in his learning by asking him to stylize his
    own sight words

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
 Teach reading to your child using our multisensory phonics program (which simply means that these materials will utilize as many avenues to the brain as possible for the benefit of many kinds of learners)

ABCs taught through visuals, jingles, body motions, stories & hands-on activities so that all those left brained symbols are surrounded in wonderful right brained elements

Multisensory, explicit phonics instruction that includes DAILY:

■ Body motions combined with auditory exercises, and visual elements all at one time.
■ Phonics and phonemic awareness taught systematically
■ Patterns, stories, cartoons, visuals are utilized to maximize the learning benefit for childen who are not left brain learners.
■ Hands-on activities that will provide practice, books that provide the "goal" for learning sounds and words, and so much more!

Easy-For-Me® Books give relevance and the goal to children who are visual learners.

WhisperPhone® is an acoustical voice-feedback headset that enables learners of all ages to focus and hear the sounds that make up words (phonemes) more clearly as they learn to read, spell, or process language aloud. Great for those childen who must hear sounds clearly in order to learn.

Multisensory Sight Words allow the mental camera to snap a picture of the word, sentence on reverse lends meaning to the word, while the body  motion grabs those children that need movement in order to learn! (kinesthetic learners)

The Kid Friendly series incorporates a variety of learning styles within the math curriculum. Visual learners will see numbers and computations through pictures, auditory learners will hear concepts put to music, and kinesthetic learners will be involved in hands-on activities. All of these activities connect learning to concepts in a meaningful and concrete way for children.

How can I help my autistic child learn to read?
Children with autism and aspergers need to be purposefully taught in areas in which they are less strong, using visuals as often as possible. They need highly structured learning experiences, and as they tend to think in pictures, need plentiful visuals and concrete objects used in their learning.  

I just wanted to say that we recently purchased your sight word cards for our son, who has Asperger's. He's doing so much better with them! I also forwarded your site to his teachers and they ended up purchasing a set for his school. Thanks so much!

Today I came upon your website and I have to tell you how amazed I am by it. I have looked at countless websites whose aim is to teach reading to children and I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary or anything that I couldn't do myself. But, yours is something special. You seem to truly understand children. I am a homeschooler with two children, one with severe autism. But I know that he can learn, he only needs the 'right' method. And when I looked at your products, I was astonished. It seems almost tailor made for my son. He is no doubt, a visual leaner and would absolutely benefit from your materials.
