I am looking for anyone who can help us to make this decsion.
I am the mom of 3 boys 6,4,& 2. Our first two sons are both on the Autism spectrum. Our 6 yr old is the one we are considering home schooling for. He is very bright and does well academically. However we just had to pull him out of the 4th school type setting (main stream kindergarten) due to his behavior. He is very aggressive (biting, hitting, kicking, headbutting, pinching ect). He refuses to follow directions and and becomes aggitated when it is time for structured activites. He recently head butted his para-professional, splitting her lip. This is when I told the school that despite their best efforts they cant handle him. However the options they are giving us are not satisfactory. They are expecting us to send him to a school that is over an hour away, five days a week for 6.5 hours a day. He would also be surrounded with childern that are profoundly below him(multiple diagnosis) instead of with children whose behavior we want him to model.
Are there any other families out there who have a similar experience to ours and what has your experience been with homeschooling?
