Homeschooling with disability's

So got an email today that my DS is able to attend school due to his disability and then my Dd can aswel????? but as a mother on maternity leave anyway I'm at home so I wouldn't dreammm of sending my baby's to school during this time
Schools should only be for key workers and them only. Parents know how to care for their children and their needs, Yes school is an amazing time when they go because you get a break and the kids love it BUT times like this we need to put our needs to the bottom of the list and think about others who rely on schools to give the rest of us the care we need. We chose to be parents right? not to palm are kids of at any given chance unless it is ESSENTIAL
Or am I wrong ? 🤔 somehow I don't think I am

But I'm now wondering if their are any teachers on his to help me (others) out

Today we made a learning book... first time EVER my DS has sat for longer then 2mins to do an activity. He sat for an hour with me !! WOW
We found an old book an put pictures of "RED CARS" etc in and then pictures to help with counting like 1 boat, 2 cats and then we made blobs for colour learning so on and so forth. Today we've got work sheets to find colours in the garden an insects and along the way we will could
My DS is 4 and has dose syndrome an we've only just had the diagnosis so finding it hard and unsure currently as he is himself, DD is 2 and she's a lot kore advanced with her speech and counting etc. Totally heartbreaking

But as we're running out of activities to do. Do you have any suggestions? We're going to keep st it doing our big book and work sheets online but their soon going to run out....
HELP 😊

OP some children with disabilities are going in because their parents cannot keep them and the rest of the family safe at home without outside support. This is not because their parents can't be bothered but because it simply isn't possible for children with that level of need. Many of these children are already on the edge of needing residential care.

There are places wherever possible for those children and those places exist for a reason.They are not taking key workers children's places. This clearly doesn't apply to you but as you said every child is different.
