Now that I'm used to it, it's not that bad. I use books from the library, lots of online resources, educational videos or shows, worksheets/workbooks that I buy from the local stores, and things that are more hands-on. A child with autism typically has to learn with all of their senses, and that's what I have to incorporate. I know a lot of mom's who buy the packaged curriculum only to use half of it. I can't afford to waist money, so that's what led me to doing my own curriculum. It really helps me tailor Tim's education to Tim, and I think that's why he's so successful. And, because he's at different grade levels in each subject, it would be really hard to buy a curriculum, I'd have to buy several different ones, and there's no way I could afford that. I do have to say that most of what we use is online. I would be lost without my computer! It is VERY time consuming, or at least it was in the beginning. Now that I’m used to it, it’s not that bad.

Is it a variety of books, online resources, etc.,? The idea of creating your own curriculum sounds time consuming and in order, if that makes any sense.
