2. My son is nine, but just starting to read.
He's autistic. One of the tasks I'd like to work on with him is sequencing by copying. It's hard for him to concentrate on. I think I'll take his colorful multi-shaped wooden blocks that can be strung on a string, and take alot of pix of them in different order. Then he can copy the sequence.

I have also started taking alot of pix of him in various social circumstances to place in a social stories book. I'm also going to do step-by-step procedures with him as the subject. Some social stories will have undesired behaviors with consequences, so I'm going to use a pic of Harry Potter or another character.

I use alot of photo albums (cheap ones) to house his flash cards for reading sight words. He has a tendency to scatter items.

I'm amazed by what we can do with digital cameras, copied wallpaper (or the real stuff) and a good printer!
