We have had some parents respond that they've been successful in getting
their autistic children to learn to read, maintaining their children's
attention for a significant span, using the Headsprout Reading Basics
(http://www.headsprout.com). I cannot unequivocally state that it always
works for autism, as we don't always get feedback, but we have had
glowing
reports from parents of autistic children, dislexic children, and even
children diagnozed ADD and ADHD.

Byron, I consider this spam. You have touted this program several
times here and in k12 and misc.education and I am beginning to
really be annoyed with it considering that you are now claiming
success with autistic children when you don't seem to have a clue
what autism is and reading is NOT what the OP was asking about.

And you, Dorothy, apparently do not know what SPAM is. The message was
targeted at a specific poster, with intention of providing help. Your
annoyance is irrelevant.

She is concerned about his speaking vocabulary, his social skills
and his rocking. Why would you advertize a reading program to
someone asking about a 5 year old boy who has less than 20
words in his oral language?

And yes, and it has worked -- for kids with NO vocabulary.

I might have recommended the program for people to try. But your
overblown claims turned me off to it, so I won't at this point.

And your claim that my claims are overblown is unsubstantiated. The proof of
MY claim is on the website. All child interactions are tracked and the
statistics are are documented.
