[QUOTE="justour2boys, post: 516060, member: 6235"] I have a (now 7th grade) Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) son and he is an extremely visual/spatial learner. So when ever I can, I try to reinforce elements he is learning in school with visual cues and hand-on learning. We do alot of flash cards in our house and you would be surprised at the educational videos on You Tube! But it also explains why he is strong in science and math and weak in English and (some) history. When my difficult child was alittle I had him watch the Leap Frog videos about letters, sound and words. It helped tie together what the letter looks like and the sound it makes. I often tell my difficult child to close his eye and take a "picture" and this can help something stick in his memory. My biggest struggle with school was getting them to stop telling him concepts, they need to SHOW him concepts. I have learned a lot from reading books about visual/spacial learners. And it has helped me as I am an auditory learner! Here's an idea... if he is working on his letters/sounds, gather a pile of gravel and build the letters out of rocks, repeating the letter's sound as he is making it, then name some items that start with that letter.
