Low regulationHomeschooling a child with ADHD in Connecticut works best when the legal checklist is simple and the daily routine is built around the child’s actual needs.
Connecticut is one of the less regulated states for homeschoolers. State law requires parents to provide instruction in certain subjects, but it does not require families to file paperwork before they begin homeschooling. The state has optional homeschool guidelines that mention a notice of intent and an annual portfolio review, but those steps are not required by law.
Access to special education services can depend on district practice and the student's enrollment status. Independent homeschoolers may not receive the same services they would get as public school students.

Connecticut does not require a specific statewide set of homeschool records by law, but families should keep attendance notes, course lists, work samples, and high school transcripts. If you voluntarily participate in a portfolio review, keep samples from the required subjects. Testing/evaluation: No statewide testing is required for independent homeschoolers.
