I think it would be good to have something on the screen rather than just white for the longer piece of music. Maybe some random patterns kind of like in a screen saver. My daughter would definetely sit still and listen to it better if she had something to look at. The rest of the program is a big hit. SHe loves it and I'm learning something too!

We've been doing this for the past couple of days and my daughter loves it! Thanks for giving us access!

Thanks Mommy22!
 I am planning to steer clear of any 'special needs' programs, mainly because my daughter doesnt need anything special! At 2 she is only slightly behind in speech which is her biggest delay, and I feel confident that since we are now really focusing on oral placement therapy she will catch up in the next year.
She has zero cognitive delay, she has been reading for almost a year and has been walking for about 4 months now. She is even using the potty a couple of times per day!
I didnt intend to be bragging but I can't see why she would need anything different from other kids at this point.
I feel like I'm alone in my area in not wanting an IEP as EVERYONE here just does it.......but you are right, instincts are best! We will figure it out!

My daughter is 22 months and we do the program 2-3 times a day. She would do it 2-3 hours a day if I let her!

Mommy22 that was really interesting. My DD is only almost 2, but as everyone knows, EI runs out in a year and they will start trying to throw the whole IEP thing at me. My instincts keep telling me not to do it. I dont want DS on her school record no matter what. I want her to be judged by her actions not her chromosomes, like everyone else.
She is doing so well that I honestly dont feel she would need an assistant, but nonetheless.....I guess I'm just nervous about the whole thing.I'm also not sure how we could pull off me not working for so long, financially. We've been doing it for 2 years now and its been tough. I was also thinking Montessorri and I have heard that can work with ND programs. But then there is the cost issue again. sigh...DO you have to get some kind of certification yourself to homeschool or meet some requirements or what?
Thanks for your input as the next year will be up before I know it!

Hi!
We have the Little reader Deluxe program but did not realize it was for PC only and we have Macs!
Does anyone have an old PC laptop they want to get rid of super cheap/free? We'd be happy to pay for any shipping! I have a special needs child who is reading wonderfully at 18 months with the Brillkids flash cards/power points and I am super enthusiastic to get her started on Little Reader. Maybe someone is planning to upgrade from the holidays and doesn't know what to do with their old pc? let me know! Anything would be appreciated!

Laura

My daughter is 14 months w/ DS and at her last speech eval, her comprehension was scattered up to 31 months! I think teaching her to read has really helped with this even though shes not yet talking.

here you go!

Hi I'm Laura, Mom to 1 yr old Ayu who has T21. SHe is a wonderful sweet little smarty pants girl who has recently mastered the art of hand clapping, waving bye bye and drinking through a straw. She is crawling everywhere and on everything and is pulling to stand on all the furniture. Walking is next! We are seeing great things so far from our little girl and expect nothing but the best for her future !
