A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am looking for specialists of Spatial-visual learners with learning disabilities for my son, age 10, has PDD and speech delay.

Although he was brilliant at academically until his 1st grade, at the 2nd grade, his reading comprehension ability was fading out and recently he has math problem, too.

My son is 11. He wasn't gifted really, but he does have the problems with comprehension that are common in children with autism. He's struggling in math too. Recently I was depressed by the lack of progress with comprehension and tried two new things. Visualizing and Verbalizing by Nanci Bell (a manual I bought online). It teaches you how to help the child create the pictures in his own head that can help with memory. I'm also using Raz-Kids and Reading A-Z because they have quizzes after each Raz-Kids e-book that indicate what skills he needs help with (main idea vs details is a common problem his teacher told me). Reading A-Z has comprehension skill packets for teachers at each grade level (1-5) and at least 10 different skills per grade level. Free one-week trial.
