Homeschooling a 9 year old

I would like to get started with some See and Learn resources but I am not sure where to start. I am from America and the resources are rather expensive. Is there a place to get resources cheaper or a discount for homeschool families.

Hi and welcome!

Where to start depends on the age of your child and – more importantly – their current skills.

There is guidance available here:

We would love to offer the See and Learn at a lower cost. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find donations or grants to fund print resources – and even more difficult to do so on an international scale.

If you have access to an iPad, then the apps offer the same guidance, activities and resources at a lower cost.

In some places, local and national Down syndrome groups have schemes for funding or contributing to the costs of materials or loan schemes. Other nonprofits sometimes have grant schemes for families.

Let us know if you need any more assistance with identifying the most appropriate place to start.
