In Idaho we have dual enrollment. You can send your son to school for 1/2 the day or just a class or two and still homeschool him. I think all you have to do is fill out a dual enrollment form. My kids go to valley view elementary in the Boise school district and we really like the teachers and staff. They have been wonderful with my son who is 11 and has mild Aspergers. At our school they have a zero tolerance for bullying. If it happens, they don't ignore it, they address it. They have a special needs classroom and services too. You could easily make a transition slowly for him here in my opinion. Especially with dual enrollment. Also in the Boise school district they have open enrollment which means you can send your son to any school in the district. You just have to get him there and back. That is what I do but I only travel 2 miles round trip. There are also a lot of Developmental Disibilities agencies here if your son needs certain therapies. I hope this helps.
