Answer 1

http://www.nldontheweb.org/homeschooling... This site also has a forum you may be able to ask. I was thinking maybe a classical or discussion based approach. This is the first time I've even heard of the LD. There is also a HS+Plus yahoo group that may help.

It sounds like most make there own curriculum. Depending on your state you may want to look into a math programs that are word problems and associate the symbol with the word. A lot of curriculum is homemade to suit the child's needs. This year alone I have gone through 7 math curriculum and have yet to find one that works for him.

I'll keep researching and see if I can find anything. Could you say how it affects your child's learning? how old your child is? maybe I'll be able to help you figure out something that way.

Really you need to do a search on the internet for that. I dont know if many people on this board would be able to help with that. More than anything I think that you might just have to design a curriculum specifically for your child. Most of the pre packaged currucula is for those who dont have major learning disorders. There is a ton of stuff out there and you know your child best as far as what he/she is capable of at this moment. Go with a general core and work your way around from there. Most people would try to figure out what level their child works at in the different areas and graduate to higher levels as they learn more. Same as in a normal school just catered to the specifics of what their child needs at that time. Im sorry that not many people were able to help you in your search.

I hope I helped!
