I have heard that the smaller school districts can have some problems since their special ed policy setters are relatively untrained. The service coordinator, though, should be able to negotiate what you need. 

 

Strange, I've never had a problem getting Daniel a slightly later start time (due to private therapy appts), but then I've always provided the transportation, so the school doesn't really have to do anything except NOT mark him tardy.  My problem has always been getting him EXTENDED services (summer, etc.).

 

I've homeschooled before, and it sounds a lot easier than it is. Unless the other kids at school are being mean, I recommend keeping her in at least half days so that she can make friends. Otherwise, special needs kids (of any type) can easily become isolated. In Idaho we have the right to selectively homeschool: full days; partial days; one class; just in school for music, PE, and art; etc. If you do homeschool her, consider a local girl scout troop for socialization.
