Thank you for posting this. I just spent the last 2 months home-schooling my 13 year old Down Syndrome daughter. For us, it has gone very well as she is high functioning and is generally fun to be around. However, I don’t think that her classmates are having that great of a time. Our school is already talking about not starting in August for what they call, ‘jump start.’ This makes me mad! When our kids can go back to school, then, parents can go back to work. I’m all for home schooling though. My wife did the bulk of it for our older 3. A lot of parents are unable to teach what they need and they need that extra hand. — Open up the schools!
Your daughter likely has an IEP. Call the special ed director as ask about home visits while school is not in session. If they flat turn you down you might want to get a lawyer involved. This, of course, doesn’t help her classmates, but it may help you and your wife.
