How to homeschool a child with dyslexia in Wyoming

Homeschooling a child with dyslexia in Wyoming works best when the legal checklist is simple and the daily routine is built around the child’s actual needs.

Plain-English note: this is a parent guide, not legal advice. Use the official source links at the bottom of the page before a deadline or filing decision.

Wyoming legal starting point

The reviewed 2025 HSLDA Wyoming summary says the main homeschool statute requires a sequentially progressive curriculum in listed subjects but no routine notice, no testing, and no parent teacher credential. Older Wyoming-source materials in the bundle are less clear and still reference a curriculum-submission form, so this draft stays cautious and flags that inconsistency.

Special education notes

The reviewed HSLDA Wyoming special education page says there are no additional homeschool requirements for children with special needs and no state law explicitly granting homeschool students a right to state-funded special education services. Districts may offer services at their discretion.

explicit reading instruction, audiobooks, oral answers, assistive technology, and reduced copywork when appropriate

Curriculum selection

  1. 1Choose level before grade label.
  2. 2Reduce friction before adding more subjects.
  3. 3Use accommodations that preserve learning without unnecessary battles.
  4. 4Document what works so future evaluations, doctors, tutors, or schools have a clear history.

Wyoming records and testing

The reviewed sources do not show a heavy Wyoming paperwork system for independent homeschoolers, but HSLDA recommends keeping an annual curriculum record, attendance records, book and workbook lists, work samples, correspondence with school officials, portfolios, test results if any, and permanent high school records. Testing/evaluation: No statewide testing is required in the reviewed sources for the main Wyoming homeschool option.
