what is fc learning?

Facilitated Communication Learning , they basically use a computer and tap touch style to encourage learning . This is good for us, considering my son hates to write using a pen or pencil, he just cannot focus, his teacher uses a computer in the classroom , yet I wonder how much he could benefit from FC learning, by prompting.If he could learn to type, spell, comprehend.......the mind is a beautiful thing .......

I saw that on a movie once. It was actually kinda neat to watch and they used it not only for learning but for the child to communicate.

I can't remember where I got this link... Might have even been here but this looks interesting and not too expensive

Oliver has learned everything from the computer. He is still 3 and he reads because the computer says the words and he is looking at the word. He also is repeating the words and it helps him learn to talk. He is academically much farther that his typical brother was at that age!!

As far as algebra, I remember 35 years ago when I took it. Needless to say it was before computer. I had to take college chemistry twice to pass with a high 'c' but I know about the basics enough to understand what I need to in the present. I have seen computer tutorial programs, but the trick with algebra is that you need to learn it step by step, and if you don't get it get a tutor or ask your teacher. If you can spend time during the break to do the first few chapters before the next sessions even starts, then do what you can to stay ahead of the lessons, so you have the lecture as a review, rather than a introduction. Algebra is another way to think, so just be REALLY OPEN MINDED to another way to look at life. It is more than math in that regard, it is the way the world turns... oh no wonder it is like a soap opera..
Hand in there.. YOU ARE DOING IT!!

Thanks for the tips Olismom! Algebra is deffinately a forgien language! I will try this during the Christmas vactions! I will say Fc Learning should be looked into , especially if your child is academically behind, and if they have a difficult time reading and writing. I'm gonna check into it for Alex!!!!!
