Why might parents of kids with LD and/or AD/HD choose to homeschool?
Parents of kids with LD and/or AD/HD offer a variety of reasons for homeschooling. Some believe they can do a better job than a public or private school in meeting their children’s special needs. Some parents think they can more effectively tailor the curriculum to their children’s needs and also protect them from the teasing and stigma associated with being in special education. Some families opt to homeschool on a short-term basis, to help a child finish a difficult year of school or to reach a certain level of maturity and development. Other parents homeschool their kids from elementary school age through high school years.
