Comment by Tammy and Parker on November 28, 2011 at 9:23pm: Okay.....the Christmas fun has begun! I always try to cram as many Christmas themed activities into December that I possibly can. I've spent some time finding some great ideas on Pinterest. You can find them here: http://pinterest.com/parkermama/

Anyone else on Pinterest that wants to share their great finds for their kids with special needs?

Comment by Tammy and Parker on November 16, 2011 at 11:19am: I'm so excited to see so many members in our Special Learners group!

It would be great to get everyone talking, asking questions, and sharing ideas.

To help with this I'm going to begin with a question or two for all of YOU.

What would you like to see in this group? Any areas of interest you would like to see discussed?

I need some input from YOU!

And.....since you are already here....how about sharing your blog names and urls. Tell us a little bit about what you blog about and why.

Are you on Twitter? Share your Twitter handles so we can follow each other.

Can't wait to see everyone's replies!

Comment by Tammy and Parker on November 9, 2011 at 9:54am: Anyone using light boards to engage their special learners? I purchased a small one (for a buck!) at a yard sale this summer. It's been such a hit with Parker that my Mom is thinking of getting him a bigger one for his birthday. The only hang up is finding overhead manipulatives that are big enough for Parker to grasp. Any ideas? We have an alphabet set and a number set but they are each only about 3/4 of an inch in height. Way too teeny for P to grasp!

I am a former special education teacher for children with communication disabilities. I blog about learning activities and crafts that typically focus on embedding language learning into play/activities. I am excited to discover other blogs focused on special learners. I would love any of you to stop by my blog and share your blog with me!

Comment by Alida Bunder on July 10, 2011 at 3:11pm: I have a grandson who is struggling to learn to read. He is now being taught with the McGuiness method and it seems to be helping him alot. Has anyone had any experience with this teaching method?
