Re:Home-based vs. school

[Guest guest]

When I first started my journey, I looked for recovery stories and read

thousands of forum postings, websites, etc. I still do read such

daily. Anyhow, from what I saw, biomed, especially antibacterials,

mopping up toxins, and focusing on digestion was ridding symptoms. My

kids were not improving by trying to teach them. One did respond to

speech therapy, after two years of it. The rest did biomed to gain full

speech. My personal opinion is to focus your energy in biomed, finding

good doctors, good diets, etc. My children who are all in regular

school without modifications, only did biomed, not ABA or anything like

that. I am not against those, but I feel that biomed is more the

answer. Recovery is a lot of hard work, and it can be more difficult

learning biomed if you are also home-schooling. But, at the same time,

if you want to focus more on his daily symptoms and behaviours and pay

more attention to his diet, maybe home-schooling would be better. At

one point I home-schooled two of mine through kindergarden.

I was wondering if I could get some opinions. We have never done a

formal home based therapy program, my son was diagnosed at 2 1/2 and we

started preschool at age 3. He's now 7 and is still in the public school

system. He made no progress since starting at age 3. He is still

non-verbal, still very aggressive, still only glueing, cutting,

painting, swinging in the OT room and taking walks in the halls.

Everytime I try to take him out everyone in our families has a fit, and

is disappointed in us. (I only care a little bit) But my husband is

really wanting to keep him in school too. He said he'll support whatever

I choose, I guess I can't really choose. I was wondering if you guys

think that maybe a home-based program would work better, since he's not

distracted by sooooooo many things, that really set him off! which is

why he can't learn in my opinion. My opinion is that school just isn't

for everyone.

what do you guys do?
