It really depends on what you're looking to accomplish. Are you looking to strengthen vocabulary skills and facilitate language development? Or are you looking to improve listening and articulation skills?  There's a lot of stuff out there...but it's specific to what you need.  If you want to email me privately, I will respond.

I listen to pimmsler (a brand of audio spanish lessons) while i drive.  i think it is effective and churches in our community have free classes.  I don't want to sit in front of a computer so i get audio tapes for the car.  cheap on ebay.

If you have a good library try "Five In A Row". My girls are enjoying it. This is a literature based program that teaches Social Studies, Language, Art, Math and Science. I would suggest adding another math program and a phonics program. \n I also like using "Teach Your Child to Read In 100 Easy Lessons"  for phonics. This can be bought at Walmart On-line. \nFor additional math I use Alpha Omega Lifepac but there are MANY to chose from. \n3Moms.com is great for encouragement and they have a bundle of sample lessons so you can see what is best for your family to use. \nFor extra work I like to use www.schoolexpress.com. They have a variety of free printable worksheets on many subjects.\nA fun on-line place to learn is www.factmonster.com.\nAnother fun and educational free place to learn to read is Starfall.com\nI have been home schooling for 6 years and every year I find something new and exciting from my searches. Another great place to search on the web to find any answer is www.ask.com. Ask Jeeves finds specific web sites for your specific question.

Depends how old the children are.\nwww.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/funand games\nwww.discoverykids.co.uk\nwww.barbie.com\nOtherwise do a Google search, but most tv channels have their websites too. I think BBC is one of the best. My girls like the print outs to colour in. You can also get quite a few dirt cheap cd roms from local super markets or ebay - look out for bbc ones like balamory etc...\nGets kids to learn computer skills too and you'll find they learn SO quickly..   :)

I haven't tried any of the commercial software packages, but I've enjoyed this website:  http://www.studyspanish.com/\n\nAlso, check out your local library.  They'll likely have a few choices for either books/cds or software so you can try before you buy.

My son has high functioning austism as well. He is 5 now and became verbal last year. His still likes to play by himself some of the time but he interacts with his siblings and some of the kids from his school. Find something that he really enjoys. For my son it is letters and numbers. I bought flash cards for him and invited a couple of the neighbor kids over. We had races to see who could find certain numbers. He loved it. Don't try too many kids though or he could feel overwhelmed. A lot of his interaction came from watching the other kids do things. He wouldn't go down the slide until he watched the other kids do it over and over again. Make a structured "game" of the play at first and then slowly let it become more spontanious. Good Luck you can email me at sbirch5@yahoo.com if you would like to discuss this further

The best way is to relate all topics (holistic approach), for instance, depending on the age, let them do their own small books, let them do some short anecdotes using the computer, word recognition is possible to sing some songs and recognize words, let them write words in sand boxes.\n\n____________________________________\nNeed help or advise?

I am confused - do you mean your speech ? You could both take speech therapy for that . And if it is how the words come out wrong - like me - I sometimes speak rougher or louder than I should , people get confused or defensive at me , and I don't even know what I said wrong until it is too late . Now if this is what it is I can only say that it will take time to change it . Mine came after I think I was about 30 - my last child was born , and I started talking less , made shorter answers and bit my tongue , close the lips more often and use my ears now ! I still have problems relating to piers , family excetra . And I totally understand about the self esteem . I think you should try to have an hour every other day or so with your son and talk it through together - you might come up with some ways of fixing it together , your own class ! Maybe even put an ad in the paper to start a support group for just that , for parents and children to learn it together . I don't have exact answers - I am just trying to help . Good luck .

You can try Dragon Naturally Speaking.  I just spoke with somebody who is implementing the medical version of it for the pathology department at the hospital I work at.  He said out of the box the accuracy rate is around 98%.\n\nIt can both take your voice dictation into Microsoft Word, and read back what you write.  It costs about $180.

I am homeschooling my kindergartner...although I feel that we have  been since birth.  My dd also was talking well under a year.  I got a kit for baby sign language and started that with her at 7 months she started signing 2 weeks later. She was speaking clear sentences at about 12 months. It finally dawned on me to video her saying her alphabet @ 18 months (she started much earlier).  I have the baby Einstein videos, books various flash cards, etc.  When she was under 2 I started getting her preschool workbooks that she loved.  Basically I always got her educational materials that were advanced for her and let her play with them.  Some things were to difficult to grasp right away but I was always amazed that there was so much that she knew or learned very quickly.  We make everything a game and when she's done playing that game we/she does something else.  We also never talked baby talk. We never dumbed it down for her either...just like a foreign language they will pick it up and understand if spoken to them.  I have recently discovered the Waldorf method and although I am not sure about some of it other parts are speaking to me.  Playing is very important to a child's  development.  Here is some things you could check into...  There are several homeschooling chat groups that would be of benefit to you.  I understand that she is young but you would be able to reap the benefits from those that have lots of experience homeschooling.  There are also gifted homeschooling yahoo groups that can help with advanced children and the difficulties that can arise.  You can also find a local homeschool group and join up with them.  (even though your daughter is young  many people have babies as well as school aged children)
