best way for us to use LM with Down Syndrome

[BEM]

Hi!  My daughter is seven with Down Syndrome.  We have previously been using LR and love it (past several months).  I found it last winter and now her school is using it with her twice/day.  I just installed the LM program this evening and upon trying it a bit, I am wondering if it will work for us and how. 

The first many days just show icons with quantity.  I'm not sure she will get that.  Is there other sessions down the way that would be more beneficial to her?  If so, where do I start?  Apparently math for DS kids is hard so I'm just trying to find a good fit for her.  Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi! I am not an expert at all in DS and teaching older kids, I'm just trying to teach my two year olds, but I can tell you about our experience. LM worked for us when my twins were about 14-16 months, but we didn’t use the curriculum much. We played the red dots and the numerals. They got the principles of counting, learnt to subitize (but only up to 3), and learnt the numerals. But they got bored quickly. What works for us now at 25 months old is the iPad. Math apps like Eurotalk, Slate Math, Bugs and buttons (not only math but good for counting, and they love the bugs), Teach Me Toddler, etc. And of course counting anything you find in your everyday life… cookies, steps, flowers, sheep… whatever!
Hope this helps… keep us informed!

thanks for the app suggestions.  I will take a look at them soon.
