There are many neurodivergent families who are finding themselves with little option but to withdraw their kiddos from school and enrol in home schooling. This is often experienced as a last resort, something that isn't a choice. It becomes the only way to manage the school can’t experienced by neurodivergent students who have been broken by the current education system.

This can often be a difficult decision for parents, one that can feel like defeat and can come with significant implications for work and the household budget. When it came time for our family to make the final decision to leave formal schooling and enrol in home schooling I was very lucky that it did not add work or financial stressors. It actually removed the significant stress I had been experiencing dealing with the school and provided me with the incentive to leave my job and create a business that allowed me to work from home and have the flexibility to support my kiddo's learning.

With a new school year fast approaching I have been reflecting on the many benefits of home schooling for neurodivergent households. I hope this might be helpful for any families who find themselves considering home schooling as one of the only options left to them.
