[quote=Anonymous]I'm a special educator, and I think this is a plan that has a lot of potential! Kids can definitely thrive when being homeschooled. A few things to consider 1) What is your plan for therapies? If she has apraxia, will she need speech and OT, do you have insurance, will your school system provide them? 2) Kids learn social skills from a consistent peer group. If she won't get that from school, what's the plan? Kids groups at house of worship? Afterschool classes, a neighborhood where there's a lot of playing back and forth, cousins, a homeschool coop, I think there are lots of options to investigate. 3) What are you thinking about for curriculum. In my experience, and of course you know your daughter best, apraxia can make it hard for a student to learn from the environment so you may want to consider options that include some direct instruction. Luckily there are lots of great curricula out there to choose from.[/quote]
