Thank you for all your advice. I will look in to Shurley Grammar. Oral is a big plus. Talking is what she is best at. Writing is still hard for her. And thanks for the Critical Thinking Company books. She has puzzle games she plays on her iPad and does not even know they are so good for her.

HI,
11year old daughter: She was diagnosed with Dyslexia and a Math disorder. I learned so much by having her independently evaluated. She also has adhd. This is more of the focus/distracted type. She also has Social anxiety disorder. (holy moly- that sounds like a lot of stuff)- BUT we don’t let it define her! She is very much like me when I was a child. I know my child has an above average IQ. When public school was treating her and enabling her to the point that it made her shut down all thinking skills and I felt the call to homeschool - we changed our world. The first 6 months of homeschooling was literally teaching her how to think and work again. She could not handle any sounds or she would go into shut down mode. It was very difficult, but 1 year later she does a LOT of work other own and is enjoying it! YAY I started with Verticy Learning curriculum and then this year more eclectic. She uses Math U see and Spelling U see.
My 9 year old son has Impulsive type ADHD and goes to Public school - although we would love to have him homeschooled - God has not opened the doors yet. He struggles with Math and Reading also. He is getting tested now. I am not sure that it is the same as my daughter. He also has short term memory issues-
I have found essential oils to help with focus and attention.

my son has sensory processing disorder as well as speech delay and is on the spectrum. He attends preschool to help with his speech (which has improved tremendously) but with SPD, he can’t forcus because everything overstimulates him! I plan on homeschooling him and my daughter (2 yo) in the fall. I have felt for a long time now that homeschooling is something I’m suppose to do. We weren’t sure the direction to go with our son but reading others posts here I feel like I can do it!! Thanks for your inspiration!
