[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have family in town, so I don't have time for a complete answer to all your questions right now, but quickly:

My mom started homeschooling because my brother had special needs.  This was back in the day when it was barely legal.  He went from being picked on and failing and miserable and labeled as mentally challenged to (years later) a 4.0 at a private college and a CPA on his first try.  Yes, he's severely dyslexic and has serious physical limitations, but my mom knew him like no other and gave him the environment and support he needed to thrive.

All of my younger siblings were homeschooled, all now successful, highly educated adults.  I homeschool all of my kids, and belong to a local homeschooling community comprised of almost 300 families.  Many homeschool because of special needs.

You can do this.  Everything you mentioned can be addressed.  I will try to do so over the weekend.  But before I say goodnight for now, let me assure you that socialization is a reason FOR homeschooling, not against.  ESPECALLY when there are special needs.  And especially in this area, which is a hotbed of homeschooling.  That will be the least of your concerns and the greatest of your joys.

Until later, then![/quote]
