homeschooling

birdalone

My son, 13, and diagnosed with Childhood Autism has always been homeschooled by myself and his dad.

I would be happy to be in contact with any other parents homeschooling.

  • Hi birdalone,

    I have spoken to many parents who homeschool their autistic child. Most of them do it as a last resort because their child was learning nothing in the school imposed on them by their LA.

    I am full of admiration for parents who follow this daunting path, often making great personal sacrifices so that their autistic child can attain their full potential.

    I am sure there are many parents frustrated with their child's educational provision who would like to hear more about homeschooling.

    How do you get started and what are the pitfalls?

    Do you use an internet school?

    Are you part of a local homeschooling support group?

    It would be great to hear about your experiences.
