🏫 To be written by the founding 100
Education & schooling
There's no single right way to educate an autistic child — only the right way for your child, this year. Six paths, all treated with equal respect, each to be filled with what actually happened in founders' meetings, classrooms and kitchens.
The six paths — frameworks ready
1 · Public / state school
IEP & EHCP advocacy, meeting scripts, inclusion vs specialist classes — from founders who fought these battles.
2 · Private special education
How founders evaluated, toured, and funded purpose-built schools — and what they'd ask on a tour now.
3 · Homeschool
Curricula that worked, co-ops, legal basics by country, and the honest hours-per-day answer.
4 · In-patient programs
The path with the most stigma and the least honest conversation anywhere — except here.
5 · Outpatient / day programs
IOPs and PHPs as a bridge — founders' experiences of getting in, and of coming back to school.
6 · Home instruction & school refusal
When a child cannot attend — negotiating with districts, low-demand rebuilding, PDA-informed approaches.
