I homeschool my daughter and was looking at some math curriculm and see if anyone has tried this. And if so what was you opinion about it?
I have never used Math U See, but it looks interesting. The problem is that it is a big investment the first year because you need to buy all of the manipulatives. My children hate using… read more
I could really use some encouragement and advice, where things stand now are that my 5yo is in a contained class for SK, but its been a complete nightmare, handling his health is trickier than I'd like it to be, however his learning styles lean closer to what I was like growing up, so I'm eager to take on more responsibility, and have been struggling to wrangle control of his therapists who visit the school but are under the school board because he is a student. I also have a 4yo who has more… read more

Hi Melanie:
Just saw your post. I know you posted this 4 years ago. Did you find out which school / school district is good for ASD kids? We are thinking to relocate to LA from Tampa. But I really… read more
I am going to be a junior this year and I need to find a new program for school. Because of my autism, math and science are very difficult subjects for me. Are there programs that were not that hard?
I know you don't have a lot of power over what your parents are willing or capable of doing for you, but the more that you can take control of your own education, the better your education is going to… read more
Good Day Everyone
I was wondering if there are any parents who are homeschooling their child/children. I am in desperate need of lesson plans for the entire school year for my boys who 6 and 7 both on the spectrum I want to integrate K-3 because I noticed that they really have not been learning much from the school they were in and I will also be allowing my 5 year old child do homeschooling with them until I can find a more suitable neighborhood with better school systems to help all my… read more

Does any one know if I can request my autistic 5th grade kid to be retained in her grade
meaning holding her back, she is in a special ed class with an alternative curriculum, if yes is that an IEP issue or teacher Issue?
You should defiantly be able to have your child stay back. Any major change must be done through the IEP. I live in Rockdale County Ga and the school district don't want to do there work. Luckily we… read more
Need as much information on what are some of the approaches that have worked for anyone who has gone the homeschool route. The information out there is so much and so unorganized that it's hard to make an informed choice. I feel that the more I read, the more confused I am. Thank you!
I've been homeschooling for 4yrs now, I have 4 children & my 13yr old is my autistic guy. for the first 6-8 months I just let him lead me into how he likes to learn & what he enjoys best. Leading to… read more

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
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… read more
TBH— I want a comparison. I guess I want to stop ignoring attention seeking just because of my emotions.
My (4) year old has limited verbal skills, but she knows "Mommy" and she will yell it at the top of her lungs if she loses sight of me. If I don't respond right away she escalates. Its incredibly… read more
