well my first blog...

I recently pulled my son back out of public school and started homeschooling him again.. well kinda homeschooling.. he is doing his high school through a web academy. So far he is doing well. I really like this program because it is very flexible and mostly feel like I have complete control over his schooling.. though it is considered public school..

as for my youngest, he is only 4yrs, we haven't started anything heavy.. we mostly play.. alot of music and make believe.. he has the most wonderful imagination and I am so happy for that. I did just purchase a preschool workbook and we will start that next week. its only supposed to be 30 minutes a day. we will see how that goes. I have been in the process of having him evaluated. It is suspected he has Aspergers/Autism.. I have heard that Aspergers is on the Autism spectrum but I have also heard it is not.. so not sure which it is.. but it is suspected he has one of those.. Another reason I am taking it easy as far as a formal education goes. He is not able to sit for long periods of time and focus on anything for too long.. He also seems to get discouraged pretty easy then just decides he is done... we will see how it goes..

I know he learns things as there are days he just comes up to me an knows all this stuff and its like out of the blue... lol

so, I will try to post regulary and to keep everyone updated. I plan to share my ideas and things I have learned pertaining to homeschooling and special needs and such.. if any of my ideas can help anyone out there thats great..

Hi Korah, I am from CCM-Crunchy Christian Mamas on yahoo. Asperger's is part of the Autism Spectrum!!! Who would tell you different? ADHD is actuall the highest functioning form of Autism, true ADHD, not the label docs slap on kids and medicate them. I have researched the topics high and low as I have several of my children affected by the spectrum. Thanks for the peek into your blog! Jen, Owner CCM
