[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 400317, member: 1233"] On the homeschooling thought - there are a lot of homeschool groups that are amazing resources. You can also google for free online schools in your state. MANY states are offering this option now and it has extended far past high school in lots of places. Here in OK it works as early as 6th grade - and is FREE to the student though they do not provide computers. They ARE public schools and ARE subject to IDEA and other rules like traditional schools. I know a family who even got assistive technology in the form of a current version of the alphasmart (not sure the latest name but a kid friendly laptop that is just for educational use) paid for by the school. Here we are paired with an actual school district and they do the paperwork and provide stuff liek that. Chances are your local school isn't going to tell you about this, so go online if you are interested. You can also look for therapeutic schools if they are near enough that your child could go there each day. The school MUST pay for this if they cannot educate your child. From what their neuropsychologist says, they cannot and are not, so if you can get that in writing you might be well on your way. Be aware that it is commonly advised to take a full year to adjust to homeschooling. Not to decide, but to see if it is working. Both of you have to unlearn a lifetime's worth of training into what "school" is and isn't, and figure out what will work for your family. [/QUOTE]
