Special ed Homeschooling

[RJAZ]

Has anyone attempted this & who are you using online to help ya? I have tons of avenues as I wait to get my son into special ed in my district here.it may be a week or 2 before I know where he will be and in the meantime I filled out legal papers to homeschool as that's the law here in Colorado. There are too many online programs and I'm filling out one application after another. Tiring!

If I was going to pay someone, this is the one I was most interested in:
http://www.themorningstaracademy.org/whatyouget_05/whatyouget1.php not sure if they have a "special ed" per say, but I would guess they do.

I decided since my sweetie is not just in one grade level, so to speak with her strengths and weaknesses, I would be best to just buy Pre-K and K curriculum from amazon.com, and also incorporate daily things into school opportunities (grocery shopping, looking at rocks and trees etc...). This way I can use whatever book she is at grade level for what I am trying to focus on. I also use "Handwriting Without Tears" program for her at home: www.hwtears.com.

To be more specific, my daughter is above level in some areas and behind in others...so I just grab whatever book fits what I am trying to address.

And, if you are interested in downloading home school programs, I have found some pretty good ones. Some are geared for schools, but they will allow home schoolers to download them, if you know how to fill out the requests.

I will definitely check out those links. I'm homeschooling my autistic son and would like some new things to work with.

I started to but couldn't handle it. He was unable to block out home stimulation so he's in a new public school program and for now-it's going okay. He has alot of hyper activity happening and they provide a safe enclosed gym area 3 x a day to him. Good luck,thanks for adding to this ..ya never know when I may have to go back to it.

i would like to homeschool my autistic son, i just don't know if i am capable! It seems like an overwhelming situation. I did homeschool my son with ADD for 8 years, but that was different. How do you do it? what do you use? How do you handle him with the other children in the house? I would love to know more
