Home-schooling Can Be a Viable Option for Special Needs Kids By Debora Geary
Second, once you have your legal ducks in a row, it's time to find a support group. While local organizations are valuable, Hayes strongly recommends checking out the many wonderful online communities. In the online environment, you have a much better chance of "connecting with another home-schooling parent of a similar age, gender and/or disordered child."
Home-schooling is not for all parents and not for all special needs kids, but if you are considering it as an option, Marshall has some words of encouragement: "Do it! Yes, it can be a lot of work, but what you give your child is priceless: the freedom to be the person they were created to be without any shame."
