I went to your presentation in Nashville, IN. I think these books could be the missing link to success for my lower functioning ED students. I really appreciate your help!

The curriculum allows students to gain a deep understanding of the significance of what they are studying. They are able to participate effectively in the classroom environment.    Vivian Hutchinson, Director of Special Education                                                               top

All of the concepts of English grammar are addressed in this text. With each item  presented in isolation, students are able to master each element before attempting to put all the pieces of grammar together.
This is the best and most direct approach to the basics of Speech that I have ever encountered.
This book (Economics) teaches the real life elements of Economics that all young adults need to be successful in independent life.
This book presents the elements involved in understanding the complexities of American Government in a step-by-step, concise process that even mentally challenged students are able to grasp.

It is rare to find such well-designed materials for upper level subjects. These materials truly provide access to the general curriculum for special needs students.

I had a fantastic experience with all six Elements books. I saw students go from failing with little hope of graduating to them building self-confidence and good grades. I think this curriculum is essential and has been the missing link for this particular student population. It has tremendously encouraged me and given these students hope for a better life and a future!The Elements have taken subjects like Algebra that are often difficult for students to get and turned the subjects into practical, relatable life strategies. I have every bit of confidence that this curriculum will help kids "do life" when they never had a way to succeed. Elements is THE vehicle that brings their education academic success!
I loved the activities that went along with this (IPC) book! IPC Elements makes IPC understandable, reachable, and fun!

Our son has always been 2-3 years behind academically. Last year our school began a portion of the Firelight curriculum. His progress was so huge that he was able to pass the 8th grade Reading TAKS-M on grade level and we have high hopes for the Math TAKS to be administered later this year. Thank you, thank you Firelight!

I wanted you to know that I think we're making progress with your books!! A diagnostician friend came by my classroom last week and we had the chance for her to look over my textbooks and my gradesheets that I am using with the books. She was very impressed with the materials. She has shared the information with many people in our administration.
The self esteem they've (students) developed is amazing. It's really been great for them.
Thank you so much for all you've done to help my students' and ME!!
