Has anyone tried Switched-On Schoolhouse (SOS) from Alpha Omega Publications for an LD or ADHD child? Please e-mail your experiences if you have. It is an interactive CD-Rom Curriculum that seems to be working well for some children who are challenged in traditional school settings.
Re: Switched-On Schoolhouse-LD Kids
We have bought it to use for our 2 oldest (7th grade) and I have put myself on it as a student and trying it out. They are a boy12 and a girl11 and have adhd.
As I am trying it, I am trying to figure out what to do as it keeps going back to the same page. Why does it do that? Do I have something wrong or do I just need to hit ‘next’?
A lady who counsels a lot of hs moms and has a support group here in the Atlanta area told me this was good because it works for multiple learning styles and we definitely have that with these 2.
I am very new to this forum so tell me if there is something I need to do differently.

Re: Switched-On Schoolhouse-LD Kids
Can’t help you with the technical stuff :(
There’s a bit of a difference between something that works with “different learning styles” and something that will work well with kids with LDs. For instance, if there’s a lot of reading, lots of LD kids just won’t learn well from it. If the main problem is ADHD though you are probably ok :)
We are using it with great success in our homeschool - it holds the kids attention becasue it takes them back to the same page each time. It also tells me how long they have been working in the program.
