Many people have been able to use
their local school systems to provide for activities that are hard to duplicate at home.
Usually, these are group activities such as a sports program or an orchestra.
You should check out your local state
support groups in our Yellow Pages and clicking on the appropriate state or
country. Also look to the articles to the right which tell some stories of successful
people who were able to get the system to provide services they needed. If you have a
story, please tell us (see below).Faces of Home Education Profile
