Choosing Home will take you into the homes of Asperger families as they journey from survival of the playground bully to making it work at home.

These questions and many more are answered in this touching and insightful narrative. This is a book of hope and encouragement to all parents with an interest in home schooling.

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