Hi, I am thinking about home educating my DS who is nearly 6 and has been going to a special need school, he has asd. He is summer born, so technically should be in year 2, but I want to start with year one curriculum. I can't find a school that is wiling to take him on (we are in the U.A.E) and he has kind of outgrown the need to go to a special need school. I mean he still has speech delay, so he will need to continue seeing a speech therapist, but he is behaviourally alright. The school he is going to at present mainly does behavioural intervention and all the children there have severe autism, most being non-verbal. Unfortunately DS has started copying their behaviour and it has now come to the point that it's doing him more harm than good socially. Also they don't follow a national curriculum, so although DS has no learning difficulties, he is educationally falling behind. For example, he has learnt his phonics sounds when he was 2 and half, after nearly 3 years of not doing any educational staffs, he is forgetting his phonics.
I am completely new to home education, have no idea how to go about it and need to start from scratch. I need guidance and hand holding about how to go about setting up a home education programme for DS. Where do I start, what to I need?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
