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.

    Sometimes they hate school because it has been such a negative influence. We had no joy at all and there were no schools we felt were trustworthy in our area so took the drastic step of relocating. The primary we found was brilliant they were in tune to his needs had picture timetables and really boosted his confidence. Now we r at high school transition which worries me. There is no help with transport and we have to adopt a suck it and see attitude as regards to mainstream high. Let him have difficulty before he will be referred to a unit. There is not enough help for mid to high functioning kids. Not at all and I understand your reservation about home schooling. I felt the same hence the drastic action. Can you talk to your cahms or look for a school further out then approach your council for transport costs. It is so hard and scary and heart breaking. Let me know how u get on? Do u have a co ordinates support plan for him? Ask your council about that too it should help if he gets back into school. Take care.
