[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 554199, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Malika, from all you've said, J does appear to have some sensory issues as well that may need to be addressed. My son had an excellant IEP when he was very young that called for the use of manipulatives in math (we were actually provided with small colored blocks, a set of pie pieces for fractions, etc., from the school to keep at home for homework. As he got older, his IEP allowed a calculator. In the case of the calculator, it was for this type of thing: Ms. Smith has 20 students in her class - she wants to have the same number of desks in 5 rows. How many desks would she need to put in each row? He knew that the answer to the problem would be 20 divided by 5, but his early issues with math disallowed memorization of times tables. So, the calculator allowed him to get the answer after he figured out HOW to get the answer. And another poster here who supports J in couting on his fingers - totally age appropriate! Side note story - my son, kinda like yours, was a totally kinetic learning. He still is. Loves to feel, touch, see, experience, etc. His first word as a baby was "plane". He has loved planes from early on and plans to enter the air force after high school. When he was 2 and very early 3, we used to take his sister to school then drive out to our airport early in the am. You could park in the deck for one hour without cost. I would take a little snack and drink and we would drive up to the roof of the parking deck. From out vantage point (and we got out of the car) we could see the amtrak tracks and all the planes taking off and landing. He learned to count by counting the planes taking off and counting the small business/commuter jets parked outside the hangers! It was the way I kept him tuned in! Take advantage of his interests to work on making math and reading fun! Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
