Looking To Homeschool For 5th Grade Next Year. What Are My Child’s Right? Need Recommendations.
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am looking to homeschool for 5th grade starting next year. Leaving public school where child has had IEP (California) and ARD (Texas) since kinder. Im primarily concerned with : 1. Are there accommodations? And 2. What curriculums are available? I have looked up numerous companies, but it’s very confusing to me. Also, we have our own religious beliefs and I don’t want a religious curriculum. I am looking for a strictly educational curriculum. Does anyone have experience with homeschooling… read more

You can make your own accommodations when you homeschool. If the book says, "write your answers in complete sentences." But your child does better answering orally, you do it your way. When I girst started homeschooling in 1997, it was hard to find a curriculum that was not religious, or even, judt not offensive to my religion. Now, there are a plethora of secular choices. I settled upon Laurel Springs Curriculum my first year, for the reasons you have said. That was many years ago, I don't know how it has changed since then. I don't use a boxed curriculum anymore. My kids and I write their own curriculum, based on what they desire to learn. There really isn't a magic formula about what your child needs to learn and when. Scope and sequence is not something that keeps me up at night.

I’m not sure for your state but i would for sure connect your state homeschool organization for help. As for curriculum or ideas, our daughter’s tutor has a student that its mom is using Easy Peasy Homeschool. They have facebook page anf one for special needs. From what I know its national so they have groups for just your state or high school kids.
