We're in a tough spot because my wife has struggled with chronic respiratory infections and is in the high-risk patient population. But our youngest has special needs and remote learning can't provide the educational support he needs (though damn the teachers are awesome and creative and trying all they can).

First three weeks are remote for all students in my district, but we'll have some hard choices ahead balancing health and education needs. Seems so much these days is choosing between options that are all far, far from ideal.

Oh, and we live in Texas where 7,500 new cases/day are still being reported.

Hi Todd, there is a group that might help you. It's a homeschooling group for children with special needs. Since many parents have pulled their kids out to address special needs, these parents have a huge wealth of knowledge about how to homeschool neurodiverse children. https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoolingpoppies/

What curriculum or learning apps have you tried so far? Some are better suited to different types of educational needs than others. I'd be happy to recommend some resources that might be helpful and also can connect you to specialists and tutors who are volunteering for free to help kids with special needs during the crisis.

Please let me know if I can be of support in any way I can.
