My partner and I homeschool our child who's disabled. Mainly because classroom support for disabled students at our local schools (or ones further afield) isn't great. We've used the national curriculum as a guide, though we've munged it more than a bit to suit our child's needs. And we've been able to get a little (and I do mean little) financial support from the government which has helped defray the cost of some materials.

Overall, a year of homeschooling has been better for our child than the two or three years they spent at a regular school. It's a bit more work for me and my partner, but so far it's been worth it.
