[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 575293, member: 3419"] I agree with-Insane, on #2, the differences are subtle, and the teacher only knows one way to teach. My difficult child is doing NILD, at the age of 16. Oh, how I wish we could have done it at your son's age! It's very expensive. They use puzzles, among other things. First they have you look at the puzzle and put it together on its own grid/outline so it's obvious. Then they have you put it together next to the grid/outline. Then they take away the outline and have you do it without any guidelines. It takes quite a few tries for kids like ours. There are only half dozen pieces. It's not a huge jigsaw puzzle. But it really makes a difference in creating new ways of looking at things and figuring them out. I would work with-your difficult child at home on simple images, copying ... if you want him to stay at that school, you will have to supplement at home. I'd be afraid of trying a new school and then being terribly disappointed. [/QUOTE]
