Special Needs Resources Page Two: Home School Aspergers Syndrome and MoreAs I continue to parent and home school my son who has Aspergers Syndrome, I come across more useful special needs resources. This is the second page at spectrumhomeschool where I list resources regarding special needs that I recommend to parents and educators. The main purpose of this website is to provide articles, strategies, tips, and resources for educating both "typical" children and children with special needs. I try to list only quality websites that I have reviewed, sites that provide quality information and/or products. The books I list I typically read myself prior to listing.If there is an in-depth website or literature (book, article) you would recommend regarding homeschooling a child with special needs, please contact us. Aspergers Syndrome, ADD (ADHD), Nonverbal Learning Disorders, and Other
I highly suggest reading:
