Homeschooling A Person With Learning Disabilities

I've been sending my daughter to a special school for kids with learning disabilities and special needs for more than 5 years now, while it has been rewarding since I've seen a lot of changes and improvements in her, I am now considering homeschooling since most of the school date falls on a rainy and stromy weather which hampers school days. Honestly, I realized I am paying too much and not get the same as paid. When they did something I did not like with my daughter one day I don't want to send her to school anymore. She is no different from the other kids I hope they don't treat the other kids the same. Anyway, I am browsing the schools for learning disabilities and I saw a number of school who would consider homeschooling using their curriculum. I heard they use orton gilingham training with their staff and their students so everyone can guarantee good education and value for their money. This school also uses iPad progam which is great, my daughter is good with computers and gadgets. I bet she will learn a lot from this! I love that they teach the student according to their strenght and they give an individual approach as well and not in groups. I believe that group learning or the normal school setting or what they call mainstream suits normal kids with average learning skills. While kids with special needs would do well in an individualized program. They also offer visual learning art where I saw this metal wall art that was made by one of their students. Super nice. If I were you I will be open for such learning style. I think kids will learn much better in such a setting compared to the mainstream style now where a classroom is packed with not lower than 60 kids.
