Description

Homeschooling presents challenges for all parents, but if you are blessed with an ASD child, the challenges faced are unique. Honestly, there is not a “one-size fits all" approach for success, but that doesn't mean that there is no hope in the educational journey. Filled with practical tips and activities to support parents in the homeschooling adventure, this beneficial resource focuses on maintaining a consistent schedule, incorporating daily themes, and suggestions to balance learning and movement. All of these routines have been shown to help autistic children succeed. This resource also offers valuable ideas for emotional and behavioral support. Additionally, the authors created a personalized homeschooling experience for three fictional characters: Distractable Dory, Hyper-focused Hermoine, and Creative Calvin to help you implement the strategies in your home. As the mom of a child on the spectrum, I found the ideas shared to be extremely helpful. Some I learned by trial and error with my son and some I wish I had known early on. ~Deanne
