I guess the big reason why I am so "shy" about all the therapy and special ed and all is that I see DS respond so much better to me than anyone else! I can get him to do a lot without too much pushing whereas when the therapists try to push, he shuts down for them. He can't stand that approach. So why put him somewhere where he'd be stressed all day / half day when he can be happy at home and still making a great progress? I know he can't always be just with me and I make sure he isn't ... but he seems to respond to me so much better than others so I keep thinking why not take advantage of it and homeschool?
