Overview"Mainstream educational provision for children on the autistic spectrum can be inadequate or inappropriate. An increasing number of parents dissatisfied with the education system are looking elsewhere for an approach that will suit their children's needs. In ""Home Educating Our Autistic Spectrum Children"", parents who have chosen to home educate their children with autism or Asperger's syndrome candidly relate their experiences: how they reached the decision to educate at home, how they set about the task, and how it has affected their lives. Following these personal accounts, the final chapters offer practical advice on getting started with home education, legal advice from an expert in education law, and contact details of support organisations" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Kitt Cowlishaw , Rachel Cohen , Terri Dowty , Lise PylesPublisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers Imprint: Jessica Kingsley Publishers Dimensions: Width: 15.60cm , Height: 2.20cm , Length: 23.00cm Weight: 0.480kg ISBN: 9781843100379ISBN 10: 1843100371 Pages: 304 Publication Date: 15 September 2001 Audience: College/higher education , General/trade , Professional and scholarly , Undergraduate , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: To order  Stock availability from the supplier is unknown.

Recommended Reading.ReviewsIf you are embarking on the home Education journey, or even thinking about it, we can recommend this book wholeheartedly. -- Communication The diversity of accounts is refreshing, with a wide range of viewpoints and home-educating approaches.
