Autism and AspergerSyndrome Resource Page

for Homeschooling Families

Louisville, KY area

     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!

    We recently visited this group for testing to get a solid diagnosis because none of his doctors had actually written down Asperger's Syndrome as our son's diagnosis.

This is a family based program that is used at home after attending training sessions.

I like the fact that it is family based.  There also consultants who work with families.
