I thank you for writing to us and putting your trust in us by sharing your story.Let me first say that I can only imagine the stress and the amount of heart wrenching experiences you must go through while taking care of your  disabled child. And I am sure that he is special and beautiful in the way Allah has made him.

You haven’t really asked a question, rather you have told basically what is going on and what you have decided.  While you are right that a parent is allowed to home school there own children, I would urge you to think about the following. You have a disabled child, who has special needs.The school that he attends are staffed with people who are educated and trained in dealing with these special needs.  Of course the love and the protection you can give your child no one else can, but your child is growing and has other needs which you probably are not fully equipped to do at home.

As for your other children, you can surely keep them home, after all they are only toddlers.  I would just like to offer you some food for thought.  When children go out to school, they are not only learning educational lessons, but also they are learning, to be with other people.They learn social skills, they learn to play and work with other children.  All this put together is very important for them to build their confidence.  As parents in an effort to protect our children we often overlook another very important element.  We need to provide our children with as normal a setting as possible, in which they can grow and flourish and go onto lead successful lives.  They need to make friends and learn social skills.  We need to make sure that they do not develop complexes and that develop confidence and a healthy self esteem.

Above all I urge you to make Istikharah (supplication for guidance in making a decision) before taking any final action.  And pray to Allah and put your trust in him.  I pray that Allah will help and guide you and bless you with your children’s success and good health.
