HomeSchool Resources and TidBits (SpecNeeds)

"As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ September is here! Did you create some memories with your loved ones this summer? We did lots of reflection of how far we have come when it comes to advocating for our autistic son.  Now we are in his senior year of high school and there is so much more to do, such as trying to figure out next steps and, in a nutshell, 'Life After High School'. What is next?  From one autistic/special needs parent to another, keep on advocating for your loved one and seek the prize at the end of this journey.... independence and a life fulfilled with people who love them and offer valued support and accommodations for a full life.  Until next time, take one day at a time and keep going.  ~Mom Advocate

Did you create some memories? As a homeschooling mom to an older autistic teenager my job as a mom and homeschooler is a bit more involved, especially when it comes to homeschooling a student on the spectrum.  When we started homeschooling our youngest, there were so many homeschooling workbooks to navigate and figure out what would work best for my child. Sometimes you have to go through a lot of trial and error to get it right.  If this is your first time starting your homeschool journey with a special needs child, look at all the options available to you. We had tried it all:  1. Public School 2. Co-Op Homeschool 3. Part-Time Homeschooling 4. Remote Public School Fortunately for us, because we had tried everything else, including what types of accommo

(Say it isn't so)! We are already in the final week of July and school will start back up next month on the 28th (at least for us, others will be different). We have learned lots this summer, especially about how much older my son will be as well as change. He is in his final year of high school and becoming more and more vocal in what he needs and wants. I also have found that the more I push for him to do certain things around the house, the more vocal he has become in what he doesn't like to do as well, LOL! Either way, it is all good because this shows me that he knows how to advocate for himself, especially if he is uncomfortable or just doesn't like something.  What are your aspirations and hopes for your children? Unborn Children? We are parents to an adult daughter and almost a

We are on summer break right now and enjoying every minute of it, from binge watching to staying up late and eating ice cream and so much more. We hope that you are having the time of your lives this summer break and staying safe. I will be posting at least once a month, so you all can read what we have been up to, but other than that have a safe and happy rest of your summer and I will definitely be in touch.  ~ MomAdvocate

Can you believe that the school year is almost over? We are excited about the long summers and binge watching until whenever, right?!  Our autistic teen son is now in his 11th year of school and going into his final year of homeschooling this year as he enters his senior year of high school.  Time sure does fly when you are advocating(constantly) and busy being a homeschool mom who wears lots of hats and also writes too. Wherever you are in your journey with homeschooling, parenting, advocating, researching the many ways to educate your special needs child. Remember to keep your eyes on the prize of what is most important and that is your son/daughter to graduate from high school, learns to be more self-reliant and overall become more independent. For all of us, as parents of special
