What should a parent know about homeschooling a child with a learning disablility/behavior disorder/ADHD, etc?
gateach asked:
Two students where I teach have explored this possibility so far this year. One chose to, one didn’t. I definitely believe it is the family’s perrogative to choose, but if one of my own student’s family explores it, I want to be able to give them accurate pros/cons or helpful resources. Those of you who are doing it–is it working for you? What have you learned along the way? What do you wish you knew when you started?

how young can a child start learning piano?
bestmom asked:
I have a 21month old toddler – who know’s her alphabet and can count 1-10, a friend of mine suggested that she can start learning piano maybe even 30 mintues in a week. My friend is not a piano teacher,and i myself knows nothing about this, but I was thinking if it will interest her why not. But don’t you think she’s too young?

Does my child have a learning disability?
bright star asked:
My child is a slow reader and is last in his class. he also takes too long to do homework and needs help every weeknight. I want him to get evaluated by a specialist. I am afraid that this will be life long. How expensive is it for a child with a develpmental disability to get help?
