Description of Contents
“Special Needs Education” it’s an web site, an interactive, Student Paced Learning Tool for Teaching Children with Special Needs
Choosing the right learning tool for a child with special needs can be a daunting task. Every child has his or her own combination of gifts, skills, needs, and difficulties with learning, so each deserves a customized learning program suited to his or her needs.
Parents want learning software that their children will like. However, while there are many entertaining "educational" web sites and software learning programs, few qualify as real educational learning systems, much less as one robust enough to support the special educational requirements of children with special needs. Unlike "educational games," a learning system provides appropriately sequenced lessons and reinforced learning in an educationally valid, engaging scope and sequence.
When evaluating learning software for special educational needs, you should make sure that it:
• Proceeds at the student's own special needs pace
• Builds on existing reading, writing and math skills
• Allows placing the child at different levels for math and language arts
• Encourages kids to become active learners through exploration and discovery
• Introduces new learning opportunities in a safe, supportive environment
• Balances learning with fun!
Time4Learning offers a comprehensive, educational learning system that builds and reinforces reading, writing and math skills. It is used by children with special needs as well as by gifted and mainstream students. Using an interactive online environment, our educational learning system mixes educational lessons with learning games designed to engage and challenge your young learner. It can be used as core curriculum or a supplement to other tools. Many homeschoolers build a portion of their day around Time4lLearning. Signup for Time4Learning and get the best in special needs learning software.
Review
Time4Learning provides a comprehensive curriculum that allows children to easily get comfortable with the system. The levels for language arts and math programs are independently set for each child. This helps children who perform or progress at vastly different levels in these major subjects. Children progress at their own rates using multisensory learning that helps each learning style. The computer is very engaging. Some children, when faced with text books or non-interactive environments, exhibit ADD/ADHD-like behavior, but, when faced with an interactive system, they are often successful in focusing and learning. The computer is impersonal so children on the Autism spectrum(specifically children with Aspergers Syndrome and high-functioning Autism) learn without the distraction of interpersonal relations.
Time4Learning provides learning programs with multimedia instruction, animated interactive lessons, printable worksheets, and assessments; has a low monthly price; does not require a contract; and provides a money-back guarantee so you can make sure that it works for your special education needs, satisfaction guaranteed!
