Hi
Just a couple of more things I would like to know if anyone has used a literacy program called Letterland. It originates in the UK so maybe the parents there may know of it. We are considering getting a tutor in the year prior to starting school and using this program. I am going to an evening next week where they will be discussing the use of this with children with dyspraxia (verbal and motor). It is used alot with dsylexic kids as well.

The other thing is I would love to hear from those of you that have done horseriding as therapy. I think its called hippotherapy. The waiting list here with the RDA (riding for the disabled Assoc) is long and I can't find any private riding schools that offer it. There is one nearby that offers a program just in teaching children to ride and they do have a special program for disabled kids, bit not the hippotherapy.

Any comments from anyone who has done this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dawn
