Hi Kerry:

I am keeping my children at home and plan to home school, but they
are only ages 4 and 5, so I have not formally filled out the
paperwork to home school.

Trevor still has no expressive language skills, so I am reluctant to
send him anywhere, plus the social services and school system in
Arizona are horrible. I hope we will be able to move out of state,
but i am just beginning to look at other states.

Regradless of where we live, i still plan to home school, though i
heard that some states have much harder cirriculum requirements than
others. there are many websites about home schooling and lots of
resources available. Where do you live?

My daughter is also showing problems with sensory integration and
possibly Aspergers. both children require a lot of time and help.
Trevor's dx of Autism has become axis 1 and PWS UPD as axis 2. He
just had a psych eval and is very low- functioning with a global
assessment of 10. He cannot even brush his own teeth or get dressed
unassisted. I do not know how he compares to other children with the
dual dx, but i am interested in hearing. Trevor is also still not
toilet trained and has no body awareness.
