North Coast School Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I almost never post, but I just wanted to let this group know of my recent success with our local University's Special Education Department. If you are lucky enough to have this option in your town, it is worth your time to look into it. Yes, many of the profs there are anti-homeschooling, but if you ask for help/assessment/tutoring and show that you are committed to your kiddo, then they might be willing to assist. Simply by asking (and asking!) I am now getting free reading and writing assessments, curriculum guidance, a grant for a science tutor, and free access to Read Naturally Live for my learning differences/sensory/anxiety kiddo. One of the ways I have avoided some of the side-glances about homeschool is by stretching the truth about how long I plan to homeschool. "Oh, yes, this is just for a year." or "Only until she is in high school." or "I am trying to get her ready to re-enroll in public school." The profs have been lovely and really, really helpful! I have met some amazing people, plus my dd gets to hang out on a university campus like a bigshot college kid, which is really good for her self-image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
