[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 129310, member: 108"] I've always homeschooled DS. But he has again (third time over all the years since he was 3.5 yrs. old) refused to work. So this time we are going through the IEP process to get him into a school that will teach him social skills, vocational skills, living skills and academics. We've done as much of that here at home as we could but he needs more than we can do. Plus he needs transitional services, etc. and the only way he can get those is through an IEP, that transfers to a 688, that transfers to adult services. But we've been told that he would not be as high functioning as he is, if he had been in the school system. But that's a catch 22, because he appears higher functioning than he really is, and it tends to mask his learning problems, making it harder for us to get the things he needs to learn. If I had it to do again, I would homeschool. DS was definitely unable to learn in a school setting, and he was absolutely unsafe in one. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
