There’s an abundance of programs for homeschoolers in New York, and let’s not forget Homeschoolers can get IDs as well from organizations like Homeschool Buyers Co-op, Zazzle, or HSLDA, to name a few. If you want your student to receive a State ID and who lives in NYC, one can get an NYC ID at the youngest age of 10. NYC ID gives you offers from free to discounted events, such as museums and cultural institutions, theaters, libraries, and educational programs, etc. Below are Homeschool Resources in New York: NYC DOE for Homeschoolers: 333 Seventh Ave, Floor 7, New York, NY 10001, 917-339-1793 Fearless Homeschooling: 339 West 47th St, Third Floor, New York, NY 10036, 917-816-1070 Different Directions: 339 West 47th St, Third Floor, New York, NY 10036, 917-816-1070 The ROC Network for Learning: 2nd Ave & East 2nd St, New York, NY 10003, 646-854-4762 M Publishers Note: This article is one of a series of articles Milestones Magazine is working on about Home-Schooling.

PLAY LIFE for One old saying, drilled into the minds of many teachers and parents, is that “children learn through play”. And despite the prevalence of computers, smartphones, and other “devices”, children still need to play: at home, at school, and at day care. However, for children who have physical, sensory, cognitive, or motor difficulties, playing itself provides significant, if not insurmountable challenges. A child may not know how to play with other children. He or she may have physical difficulties preventing him or her from reaching or accessing toys or play equipment. There are well-known types of therapy (occupational and physical, for example) that address some of these issues for children. Less well-known, perhaps, are therapies such as play. And one type I wasn’t aware of is called Recreational Therapy. I am pleased to introduce Jeanne Hastings, who is in private practice as a Recreational Therapist, and has developed a free tool on her website to help people find certified and licensed recreational therapists. Jeanne will let us know what recreational therapy is, and how it can develop and enhance play and social skills in children with and without disabilities. 16
