This year, Peter and I have been participating in a homeschool enrichment co-op. He takes music, art, Latin, P.E. and a few other subjects. The neat thing is that he is learning to advocate for himself. I told the teachers about his special needs before the school year began, but he keeps in touch with his teachers and classmates, sometimes by email, sometimes in person, telling them specifically how they can meet his needs. The teachers have been so helpful, and he and they are so proud of his accomplishments; and he is making wonderful new friends this way, as well, as he works with other students, side by side, on this one day a week.
If you can join anything like this, I highly recommend it.
