From the Author:
Martha Kennedy Hartnett lives in Dover, New Hampshire and successfully homeschooled her AS son for six years. He is now in his third year of college. Formerly on the Board of Directors of the American Hyperlexia Association, she is currently on the Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Chapter of the Asperger's Association of New England.
Review:
This is a very encouraging book for anyone who doubts their ability to home educate a child with Asperger's, or who may be fearful about not being able to cope with the demands from their child 24/7. It is well worth sifting through for the wise insights and practical tips. In addition the author promotes the idea of self care for the weary parent. A nicely balanced, positive book.

Choosing Home will empower parents with its realistic portrayal of the challenges and rewards of homeschooling a child with Aspergers. Author: Home Education Magazine
