Abstract

• The confusing variations of terminology that connect "home" with instruction warrant special care in relation to students with disabilities. • The underlying core of these varying terms amounts to three distinct placement options in relation to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), here identified as homebound instruction, instruction in the home, and homeschooling. • Homebound instruction and homeschooling are initially a matter of state law, whereas instruction in the home is entirely a matter of the IDEA. • This article summarizes the state law and IDEA provisions for these three placements and the case law that shows the importance of understanding and applying the differences and intersections among these three meanings of home-based instruction.
