DIRECT ANSWER

What is special needs homeschooling?

Special needs homeschooling is parent-led education designed around a child’s disability, learning difference, health need, sensory profile, communication needs, or IEP history. It should include appropriate instruction, accommodations, progress documentation, support services, and state-rule verification.
