Hi! I could use some help figuring out how to customize MP to suit the needs of my daughter, who is currently in 5th grade but has a different learning profile than my other kids. She is going to have a developmental-behavioral evaluation next month (after a very long wait) for suspected autism spectrum disorder/aspergers. She did MP for 3rd and 4th grades but was never able to keep up with the pace of the lessons. She did great in Latin, and made it part of the way through First Form. She despised Famous Men of Rome, but then she can't stand most history. She is almost on grade level for math, and has been working really hard on that. One of her worst areas is composition. She panics at the thought of any writing curriculum, and I have tried several. Even a 3rd grade writing workbook is causing her difficulty. I even have the Fable DVDs but quit partway through. She enjoyed Greek Myths in 3rd, but as I said, she couldn't stand FMOR in 4th. Comprehension questions in any subject are a challenge, as she has trouble understanding what she's read sometimes, especially if it's more challenging. She can read very well though, and her spelling is excellent. She almost never reads to herself, unless it's about chickens So when we did MP before, I ended up reading aloud a lot to her and letting her answer questions orally.
I really want to make MP work for her in the fall. She is just very easily overwhelmed, and I would have to change things around to make this work. Any suggestions are very welcome!
