Re: SCHOOL PROGRAMS

[Guest guest]

Hi Theresa, I'm bj (short for Betty Jean) and I've homeschooled for over 8

years now. My youngest (Tammy) is 9 and autistic, and I have 2 older

daughters 16 and 19 that I've homeschooled all those years. My 19 yo has

finally made it to college...and my 16yo has decided to take up a few

college classes in her junior year of HS. Homeschooling is a bit different

for my autistic daughter compared to my older ones, but I feel like the

experience of teaching my older kids has prepared me for the challenge of

Tammy's schooling. There is another list that I'm on... " autism unschooling "

that has been of help too. If you want to email me privately, feel free!

or just ask away...maybe I can help...?

love, bj
