    Hi @terry2025 and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    How are you and Wesley finding home schooling so far?

    Have you contacted your local SENDIASS before? They are the experts in education in your area and can provide support for families with disabled children who choose to home educate their children as well as those in school.

    They can help with things like form filling, EHCP plans and support and you may even potentially be allocated a caseworker who can offer more help etc.

    What sort of problems with SEND are you having at the moment?

    That's nice to hear that your son is happier @terry2025, I bet that's lovely for you to see as well😊

    How are you finding filling out the form?

    Ah i see, I know some SENDIASS can be a bit overstretched in the summer holidays so potentially could be the reason so it may be worth having a look on the website to see if they have an online enquiry form instead.

    There is Education Otherwise who are a home education charity with a helpline and a report checking service so they may be able to help as well as Educational Freedom who give free home education information and support in the UK
