Can special education and related services be provided to a home schooled child in the child’s home?
Yes, but only to the same extent as if the child were enrolled in the public school. School districts must ensure that special education and related services are provided the child in the “least restrictive environment.” This standard applies to all children with disabilities receiving IEP services. 5.21 What is a school district required to do if a parent refuses or does not respond to the district’s offer to hold an IEP meeting to consider continuation of special education and related services to their child? The school district must provide notice to the parents that the school district stands ready to provide special education and related services if the child re-enrolls in the public school.
