[QUOTE="EndangeredCheerleader, post: 589772, member: 15279"] My son with Asperger's attends a program for spectrum children ran by our school district. They offer more individualized instruction, therapy dogs, and social skills training. It has been a great experience. Look into whether your district offers something like this, even if it means bussing or driving him daily. Schools don't always offer what they have available. Before placing DS12 in the program, we had to pull him two years in a row, at mid term, for psychiatric treatment due to burn out and major school phobia. After I demanded (and grudgingly received) a half year of home bound instruction, we were finally told about this program on another campus. DD13 is currently enrolled with K12 through our state. I love the curriculum (for an nt) but it is a lot of work! Depending on the state, Class Connects may be required, as well as tutoring sessions called Target Teaches, if the child is behind in ANY subject. There are days DD13 spends 4 hours in online classrooms BEFORE she can even start daily assignments. And yes, she does have an IEP.... it means squat! There is no way in Halifax my aspie could tolerate it and he is academically advanced. It's too much for DD13, and why I won't enroll her next year. I DO wish we could afford the private school option for K12. If Class Connects and Target Teaches were optional, it would be fantastic! I hate slamming K12 because they have an amazing curriculum lineup. I did Time4Learning with DD13 for a few months last year. It offered a great introduction to homeschool. Very easy pace. Fantastic math! I highly recommend it for a stressed out kid needing some school instruction during recovery. Plus it was cheap! You can call for a free trial period. I would not use it as core curriculum without supplementing, but it's perfect for getting started. [/QUOTE]
