Other Info:
We have homeschooled our special needs children with Argyll Centre as the supervising board. In general, they have some homeschool facilitators who understand education in the context of special needs. The Reach Out program is superb -- in our case where we have two children with severe FASD and additional diagnoses, they provided a teacher who came a few days a week to work with our children, extra funding for specialists (OT, speech, etc) and equipment, etc.
