homeschooling daughter with Down Syndrome
I have a friend who homeschools her daughter with Down's Syndrome and Autism. She has done I wonderful job I wish she were on this forum to comment. Her daughter is 10 now but if I recall correctly at that age her focus was mainly OT and Speech therapies and practicing those things at home and yes, respite care was important for her. One of her key reasons for homeschooling was the school had really low expectations of her daughter based on testing but she didn't believe the testing was accurate. I don't quiz her on how her child is doing or anything but I know from the times we have played with them she can definitely read and write and do basic math.
