State Provisions for Home Instruction

Abstract

The current status of state provisions for home instruction was studied. Data from 47 states were tabulated in categories representative of areas of importance and concern: (a) state aid formulas; (b) types of exceptionality served; (c) criteria for eligibility; (d) limits on instructional time; (e) certification requirements; (f) telephone teaching provisions; and (g) supplementary services. Trends suggested by the data are also discussed.
