Different school districts and systems have different options for home-schooled children. You can also find particular programs in your area by contacting national organizations that specialize in assisting families and individuals with Asperger's and ADHD. There are non-profit groups based in New York and Washington, D.C. that can connect you with local contacts in your area.

Public schools offer special aids, teachers and classes for children with more specific needs. They have to be considered "highly qualified" by the state. To do this they must take course continuously through their career to learn new skills and keep old skills highly tuned.
