How many deaf children are homeschooled?

Answer

I don't believe that anyone knows how many children with hearing loss are being homeschooled. As far as I am aware, no study of homeschoolers has looked at this question.

I run an email list for parents homeschooling deaf and hard of hearing children, and I receive email from parents through my website, deafhomeschool . Based on those interactions, and the amount of information available on this topic, I estimate that there are fewer than 500 children with hearing loss being homeschooled in the United States.

The number of deaf children would obviously be even smaller than that.

That said, the number of families homeschooling deaf and hard of hearing children is definitely on the rise.
