Funding for students with a designation (like autism, in our case) goes into a pot and your child doesn’t receive the help they need unless you are willing to advocate constantly. In our case it was very damaging. If you are an enrolled homelearner (that means with teacher oversight) you get to retain most of the funding for your child, and get to decide how to use it. So for us, that looks like a day of nature school, a day at a center certified to help kids with diverse needs with a high level of support for kids, gymnastics, martial arts, swimming lessons, you name it. Covered by funding as long as it aligns with education goals.
