Parenting a special needs child is a challenge for any person. When you also have a large family, it can be particularly difficult. And what if you have more than one handicapped child? This forum is a special and safe place where large families with special needs children can come and share the trials, the laughter, the joys, and the pains of parenting a challenged child.

7. Do you send your sn kid to school or do you homeschool them? (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago (5)

Donovan goes to PS, but with his behavior the past few weeks, we've definately concidered pulling him out and homeschooling. (m) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

have u asked him why is having a hard time going to school? Is something going on at school that could be bothering him like a bully or even the teachers - proudmommy5 3 days ago

No, it's nothing like that. I keep in close contact with the Special Education teacher for his grade. She sees him on a daily basis and talks with all of his teachers several times throughout the day. He just doesn't like getting up and moving in the morning. Once he's out the door and at school, he's fine. It's just the fight to get him out the door. (nt) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

We use a cyber school for our sn ds...kind of like homeschooling.... - jakikoripiba 3 days ago
