Extractions: Accelerations Educational Software makes software that is especially effective for individuals with autism and other learning disabilities. We incorporate behavioral methods that allow even very low functioning individuals to usually become independent learners. Our software was initially designed for autistic children but even most typical young children also love the program. Affordability Our first product, the DT Trainer, was created by our founder for his own autistic son. The product emulates therapy from behavioral psychology that has been shown to be effective with autistic children. From these beginnings, the product is now being evolved by literally a community of teachers, centers of excellence, autism specialists, academics, researchers, and parents.

Extractions: Note from Wrightslaw: Letter to Lillie/Felton is a policy letter about special ed eligibility that was published by the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) in 1995. This letter clarifies several key points: eligibility teams may consider support provided by parents; children with high IQs are not excluded from special education eligibility; evaluations must include testing of the seven areas mentioned in the special ed regulations. In determining a child's current level of educational achievement for purposes of specific learning disability (SLD) identification, can satisfactory grades be discounted if the child receives them due to extraordinary parental or tutoring assistance received outside the school day or compensatory help received at school?

National Center for Learning Disabilities ... What are sources of information and support? Imagine having important needs and ideas to communicate, but being unable to express them. Perhaps feeling bombarded by sights and sounds, unable to focus your attention. Or trying to read or add but not being able to make sense of the letters or numbers. You may not need to imagine. You may be the parent or teacher of a child experiencing academic problems, or have someone in your family diagnosed as learning disabled. Or possibly as a child you were told you had a reading problem called dyslexia or some other learning handicap.
Extractions: November 1998 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATH LEARNING PROBLEMS As with students' reading disabilities, when math difficulties are present, they range from mild to severe. There is also evidence that children manifest different types of disabilities in math (Badian, 1983; Cohn, 1971; Kosc 1974; Strang and Rourke, 1985). Unfortunately, research attempting to classify these has yet to be validated or widely accepted, so caution is required when considering descriptions of differing degrees of math disability. Still, it seems evident that students do experience not only differing intensities of math dilemmas, but also different types, which require diverse classroom emphases, adaptations and sometimes even divergent methods. Mastering Basic Number Facts Many learning disabled students have persistent trouble "memorizing" basic number facts in all four operations (Fleischner, Garnett, & Shepherd, 1982), despite adequate understanding and great effort expended trying to do so. Instead of readily knowing that 5+7=12, or that 4x6=24, these children continue laboriously over years to count fingers, pencil marks or scribbled circles and seem unable to develop efficient memory strategies on their own.
