Many people consider switching from homeschooling to traditional schooling as a student grows older, for reasons including more challenging content, social and athletic opportunities, and growth and independence.
For the special needs child, the reverse often occurs. It is at home that the student can be appropriately challenged and can become an independent learner. This is for a number of reasons.
First, challenges often become more troublesome, and often students are deprived of academic opportunities because they cannot take advantage of the way that learning is being offered. Second, school often simply becomes more competitive. Third, gaps between reading and writing skills and intellectual ability become much more of a problem as students are given reading and writing assignments that may be appropriate for most students—and if not, most students can survive them—but are overwhelming to the student with
dyslexia
.
Many schools that provide excellent special services to students in elementary school simply don't provide them at upper levels. Other schools don't provide the services students need at all—but a bright student can compensate for a while. Many a student who has not been taught accurate reading skills has successfully memorized enough words and used his native intelligence to succeed in elementary school: then when a "reading problem" is discovered in middle school, parents are told "it's too late to cure. " It's not.
