My son is 16 with autism. The public school system failed him. He knows his numbers and can add up to 10 without a calculator. His IEP stated he was to be using a calculator, however after 2 years he still doesn't know how to use it. He is limited verbal but is able to communicate. I want him to work on his reading comprehension. He reads well, can tell you who, what and sometimes when... especially with answer options. "Why" is something he has never had any success with. I provide his life-skills and social studies. Science is something I merge with reading so that he is not overwhelmed. I am looking for someone who has the patience to work with him. Since he was never made to do real work at school, he is a bit complacent, but I believe that could change with the right tutor. He is sweet and cooperates.
