[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 606990, member: 1550"] Malika, I respect you a lot. I also disagree that parents can teach these things to children who have intristic disorders. If we could, we'd all have saved a lot of money and done it!!! :) I am NOT trying to discourage you at all considering you don't have many options where you live. However, this poster is in the US and we do have many resources and chances are, even if you don't want to use outside help, the schools will insist on it...and most of us do find good professionals eventually. It is also always very good if we as parents try to enhance that help at home. Not everyone can homeschool nor is homeschooling for every kid. I tried it for a year and had to admit I can't teach my kids very well and, further, they drove me nuts...lol.
