Home schooling
Homeschooling can be a benefit to children with autism,
but takes a great deal of time and effort.
Homeschooling can provide the individualized setting
and interaction that a child with autism frequently needs.
Homeschooling provides a stable and secure environment
in which to work and play.
For instance, a child with Attention Deficit Disorder
or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder functions
best in an environment with fewer distractions and a
schedule uniquely suited to his or her needs.
Homeschooling can provide that individualized setting.
An autistic child who is acutely sensitive to sound and
has trouble interacting with others can be frustrated or
even frightened by noisy hallways, school bells, and
the frequent changing of classrooms and teachers.
At home, the parent can reduce these distractions.
In addition, a homeschooled child can work at his own
rate and in the way he learns best.
The home environment also provides learning opportunities
that your child may not find in public school.
A child can accompany Mum to the grocery store or to
the library.
He can learn to make his bed, set the table, and
prepare lunch.
He can plant and look after a garden and walk the dog.
Learning these basic skills, or even observing them in
action, is valuable preparation for the child, whether
or not he will one day live on his own.
Homeschooling requires a large commitment on the part
of the parent.
It is not only a matter of wanting to educate your child
at home, but also having the time and resources to do it.
You need to be able to not only commit your time to
teaching, but your time to completing the necessary
research in order to be prepared to teach your child.
Further, you need to be able to meet the socialization
needs of your child in the home environment.
Finally, if you have ever struggled to get your child to
do homework, you need to be prepared with a plan that
will meet that need on a daily basis.
