• Autism and Asperger Syndrome Resource Page

    for Homeschooling Families

       This page is for the provision of support and information to homeschooling families of kids with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or other Autism related disorders in the Louisville area.  Being a veteran home educator and having a son with AS, I hope to meet a need in the home schooling and general community that will give support and resources to parents who are searching for the things that best fit their child's needs.

       This is by no means a complete list!  If you have other resources that can be added, please contact me with the information and I will gladly add it to the list!
