Homeschooling the Child with Asperger Syndrome Reviews

If you need help in deciding if you should homeschool your child with Asperger Syndrome, or if you just need some help getting started, this book could be a good starting point. -- Practical Homeschooling
An excellent book overall that takes a clear look at what it means to live and deal with an Asperger's child throughout the `school age' years. Family histories lend weight to the theoretical methods suggested and ideas for home educating these special children and teenagers are clearly stated. Of real use are the websites and games giving activities that are particularly suited to Aspergers children. The ideas and suggestions are excellent. A book I would recommend for its straight forward approach and ideas. -- Education Otherwise
Packed with inspiring ideas and tips that can be used with any curriculum and on any budget. -- Autism US
