What homeschool program do you use? (I NEED A GREAT MATH PROGRAM FOR LD CHILD)

[disney-super-mom]

You have a been such a HUGE help in your suggestions for homeschooling programs and websites, but I need your help again.

I'm looking for a really good math program for my son, who is high functioning autistic. He's having trouble in math and understanding the concepts (addition, subtraction, etc...) If there's a really good interactive math program that he could do on the computer, that would be even better because the computer seems to keep his attention better than books/dittos/paper & pencil, but I'd like to hear ANY suggestions you have.

Thanks everyone.

We have had HUGE success in math now that we use Math-U-See. I love it! For History we use "Story of the World", for LA we use "Learning Language Ats through Literature", and for science we use Apologia. I hope this helps! You are making a great decision!

I'm not sure how old your son is or what grade level you're looking for, but check out Teaching Textbooks www.teachingtextbooks.com.
You can try out some of the practice lessons and see how he does.

*****just read on your first post that your son is 7..you could try http://www.time4learning.com/. My son likes it a lot, and you can also try some sample lessons there as well!*****

I am considering Homeschooling my DD. Thanks for all the new sites to try.

Thanks so much!

Time4learning.com looks very promising. It seems simplistic enough for my little guy to understand.

I've heard great things about MathUSee, but when I try to get an idea of how this program works, it seems complicated to me. Why is that?
I wish they had more samples on their website so I could get a better overall understanding of how it looks and, if a child like my little guy, could understand it. I'll keep trying to see what I can find out about it.
