Hi we have home schooled our MDS daughter since she was in second grade with

fantastic results. She is a all A-B student. Dave father to MDS 17 and

ny MDS 2.

Can't remember if I've asked this before....

but is anyone here homeschooling their MDS kid? Is anyone here

homeschooling any of their kids, MDS or not? I'd love to talk to you!

I've been homeschooling (my MDS kid) for two years now. I had

homeschooled her " typical " siblings for years before this. is my

only one at home right now. But next year, one of my girls with

Trisomy 21 will be joining , and so the fun begins!!! If you're

homeschooling, or thinking about it, please let me know. Marilyn

Won't you please consider adding your personal story on the MDS website today?

Kelsey is only 3 but I can already see the benefits of working with her

one-to-one. I am considering homeschooling her; although she is starting in

a Montessori preschool in June. My question is why you decided to

homeschool? And have others used the Montessori approach with MDS kids?

Thanks.

Oh, duh!!! I just answered you offlist, and now you've answered my questions!

At least some of them! I HAVE to ask, too--are both children your

biological kids? I know how rare MDS is, and you said both your kids had MDS. So

I

just thought I'd ask. Even to ADOPT two kids with MDS seems kind of against the

odds. When we did it, it was totally by accident! We didn't know had it

until she was 7. What sorts of materials have you used with your daughter? Is

she very high functioning academically? Where do you see her going when she

graduates from homeschool--sheltered workshop, independent living, etc.? Marilyn
