[Ohiogift] programing teacher

Vickie:

I know this is a long-range plan, but heard this story on NPR yesterday and thought how great it would be to bring something like this to our region.  http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/04/22/177452578/young-adults-with-autism-can-thrive-in-high-tech-jobs

I know Project SEARCH which started at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati (my old boss helped start it at Great Oaks) is now a far-reaching international program with multiple sites--all about bringing people with disabilities into the workforce.

Best of luck to your friend and her family with their continued journey--

Angela

Hello, 

I have been teaching my son programming with this book and website and it seems to help him a lot.  It's completely free!  Here's the website : http://inventwithpython.com/ We are going through it very slowly but it does a good job of explaining how programming works.  

I'm not sure how much I can help, but take a look at this website and provide your thoughts.  If there is supplemental training needs needed maybe we can work something out. 

I hope that helps!

Dear All,

I have a dear friend who has a brilliant young son who also is challenged with asperger syndrome. He just completed fourth grade. He has been a member of our gifted intervention class since grade one. He wants so much to learn binary computer code so that he can program his own software to create original computer games. My friend does have contacts at KSU but there really isn't a fit there. The Kids College is not advanced enough and they won't let him attend the regular class. She is looking for some adult or advanced student who could work with him. She would, of course pay this person. 

If you know of someone please contact me off list at
