May children who are schooled at home receive services from federal education programs under ESEA and IDEA?
In general, the extent to which homeschooled children may participate in these programs depends on how a state recognizes a homeschool. If a state recognizes a homeschool as a private school, the homeschooled students would be eligible to receive benefits and services similar to those received by their private school counterparts.
