SPED Homeschool Review Crew Feedback
What was the one thing that most impressed you about this curriculum?
Well thought out and designed, standards based, carefully constructed online learning platform that gives immediate feedback for every question and allows self pacing and/or skipping of skills already known as well as continual repetition and review of concepts previously learned. It allows review of concepts that are not understood and It offers a way for parents to move their child through skills at the child’s pace with clearly taught manageable lessons containing reasonable amounts of practice items per lesson. Online chat and or phone chat is available as a student works through lessons as well.
What was the one thing that parents of children with learning needs should be aware of when looking into this program?
They do not have built in text to speech and speech to text options for children with those kinds of challenges. Also a student must be able to do basic typing to fill in answers and read basic math words in order to answer the math questions.

I really appreciated this review! I signed my dyslexic student up for the free trial, and all of your tips were so incredibly useful. This has really changed her attitude toward math for the better. I just paid for our first month, because the trial was most definitely a success. I appreciate that you showed us how to skip material she already knew, so that she could go ahead and get started on the material she's ready to learn.

That is wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing with us. We hope your student has continued success.

Forgot to mention in the video that students can call to get help if they don't want to or struggle with using the typing chat option.
