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.

    The laws on homeschooling are very different in Scotland, it is not at all the same as in England, however it is very possible.

    A good place to go for advice etc. is Schoolhouse, they are the scottish home education charity (you should be able to google them).

    We live in East Ayrshire and have been homeschooling for about 4 years now. You don't have to follow a curriculum, you just need to make sure your child is receiving an education that is suitable and appropriate for their age and ability - and as mum you should know best what they can do.

    As for socialisation- they are lots of home school activities happening, we worried about our girls not meeting other children, but now we find that they are so busy with 'social' engagements we struggle to fit the 'education' bit in :o)

    If I can be of any help please get in touch
