What [age group] can you recommend a special needs Montessori program for?
I can recommend a special needs program for infants, tots, toddlers, and preschool or elementary children, based on the age and curcumstances of your child.

Do your lessons have pictures?
Yes. Most all of my lessons have graphics (and you can request more graphics for a lesson).

Do I need to purchase or make any materials. Do you provide help with that?
Yes, you can buy or make the materials needed for your lesson activities. I help with that in the e-mail consulting, the lesson activities,and  the resources area.

What is the cost of your programs?
$8.99 to $99.99.

What is the next step?
E-mail me and include: 

1) the age of your child or infant
2) what special needs he/she has
3) where is your child at developmentally (18 months in gross motor, 12 months in speech/language...)
My daughter was also born with Down syndrome and I always wanted to try Montessori at home. Where do I start?  How effective it is?

You can read my long answer here!

Do you have another resource for Montessori for Autism?

There is a book out called Autism – A Montessori Approach, by Michelle Lane. Her website and book purchase info are here.

We are getting ready for our first IEP, we have heard there is a book we should buy to help us with this process...

Yes, every parent of a special needs school-age child should consider The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child by Lawrence M. Siegel at Amazon.com; highly recommended in my area is a handbook (the Special Education Rights and Responsibilities Handbook) by CASE in San Francisco, check it out here.
