SASKATOON A Saskatoon family who opted to homeschool their children during the pandemic says they are being denied the support typically provided to parents who homeschool, and it s proving costly. Alison Peters says she was turned away after seeking psychological and special education assessments through Prairie Spirit School Division and says she had to spend more than $2,200 out of pocket as a result. Peters launched an online petition calling on the Ministry of Education and the local public school divisions to offer equal opportunities for home-based learners after she was forced to turn to the private sector to access an educational psychologist and speech-language assessment.
