Re: Spire VS Linda Mood-Bell for cognitive 8yr old
Posted by murgy on 8/14/05

    What do you mean by "cognitive" language processing problems?
    I have an 8 year old son who is in resource room and very very
    slowly is improving. He has language processing issues and
    short term memory issues, dyslexia along with central auditory
    processing delays, but I've never heard of "cognitive"
    problems. My son is very smart except for reading. I just was
    trained in Wilson Reading Program and will be working with him
    independently of his school on his reading. Like Lindamood,
    Wilson is very good at controlling and pacing sounds and
    scaffolding learning progress relatively quickly. In addition,
    in Sept. he'll have a fantasic resource room teacher and I am
    hoping it will all come together for him in 3rd grade because
    the last 3 years have been nerve wracking (for me.)
