homeschooling

Sorry for the delay.

Actually we live in the Republic of Ireland, though I am English by birth.

The legal situation here could be different.

We just went through our second comprehensive assessment by the National Education Welfare Board . . .hopefully with flying colours, though we are waiting for a copy of the report as I write.

perhaps I will feel more confident in writing a more comprehensive contribution when reassured by said report.

i would add that there have been stressful extended moments , mainly due to the widespread  Irish attitude to the reality of an autistic parent rearing an autistic child . . or likely any child actually. It has been challenging . .not so much the homeschooling, but attitudes within 'services' . . . assessment , social services responding to assessment report, a further second opinion assessment at my insistence. Then a second report which calmed social services somewhat.

In fact our experiences of the Education Welfare Board have been the most positive of all the bodies we have had dealings with.
