Reading resource for hyperlexia and autism

C's speech and language therapist recently started using a new program to help improve his reading comprehension.  She did some research and found something a little different, something I had not heard of before. I was doing some research myself and had come across some things but not the one she just got. So here's a picture of the cover:

She's very enthusiastic about it and said he was doing really well with it. She's only had it for 3 weeks though so, we're not sure how it will all work out in the long run.  The best case scenario would be for C to be able to transfer those skills to a more general setting but I just don't know if that's going to work. It's complicated when your child has to learn in the general education setting. He just started middle school and things are really though for him. We are looking at other options, not for this school year, we're already halfway through, but for next year. Until then, we'll just have to do the best we can.  In the meantime, we'll continue with the speech and language therapy since that's really what he needs the most. Second to that would be feeding but guess what? His feeding therapist had to stop after more than 7 years of working with him and the one we found, not too far from our house just closed shop and we never heard from her again. Go figure, right?
C definitely has hyperlexia so I think this reading comprehension kit is definitely worth a try. We're just going to keep trying, keep throwing different ideas against the wall and see what sticks or rather, until something sticks. After all, that's what we've been doing for the past 12 years and 10 months of his life. It's hard to talk about autism and how it affects our lives. It's hard to consider the future. I will never stop fighting but I still get scared for his future. And I know he's a high-functioning kid or so they say. Actually it all depends who we're talking to. In school, he's way too complicated. His language deficits make it hard for teachers to work with him, especially in his current setting but in a clinical or smaller setting, he's able to do a lot more. He definitely has autistic behaviors but as I explained in previous posts, he can follow the general patterns and expectations in a group. 
Well, I digress. We can discuss this in greater details in another post. I just wanted to share this newfound resource with you. Hope some of you find it useful.
