He is non verbal it seems that he find school boring and he is not good with transitions. When he was small i had some chances when i would reward him if he goes and it used to work. Now he is physically bigger then me and i'm still struggling to get him to go to school. I had many behavior therapists come in the morning to help, but nothing 😪 i haven't not given up. I have a new behaviour therapist coming at home so will see. So i have thought about homeschool

Key Benefits of Homeschooling
Sensory and Emotional Safety: Eliminates the overwhelming sights, sounds, and social pressures of a traditional classroom, significantly reducing anxiety and the risk of bullying.Customized Pacing: Allows children to move as fast or as slow as they need, with the flexibility to take breaks and accommodate executive functioning.Therapy Integration: Makes it easy to schedule and seamlessly blend speech, occupational, or behavioral therapies into the school day without missing core academics.Special Interests: Empowers parents to use a child’s intense interests as a motivational tool to engage them in learning.
Essential Strategies for SuccessEstablish a Routine: Autistic children often thrive on predictability. Set a daily rhythm with designated times for academics, therapies, meals, and free time.Create a Dedicated Space: Designate a quiet, distraction-free learning environment, customized to your child's specific sensory needs (e.g., adjustable lighting, noise-canceling headphones).Incorporate Visuals: Use schedules, charts, and interactive, multimedia-heavy curriculum platforms to make abstract concepts easier to process.Prioritize Socialization: Prevent isolation by joining local, inclusive homeschool co-ops, neurodivergent playgroups, or community sports and interest clubs.
Getting Started & LegalitiesEvery location has specific laws regarding homeschooling. In California, parents typically homeschool by establishing a private school, filing a private school affidavit, or enrolling the child in a public charter school that offers independent study or homeschool programs.To explore state laws and find local support groups and curriculums, visit these resources:Legal Requirements: Check your exact state regulations and notification requirements on the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) state law directory.Curriculum Options: Explore accessible, self-paced, and multisensory curriculums designed for special needs learners through Time4Learning.Community & Advocacy: Find advice, resources, and local co-op connections via the Autism Society ..Autism Society

My son is going into grade 10 this year. A lot of changes are being made to his program this year. It is definitely in the back of my head in case the changes don't go well or are too much at once.
