Brady from Elizabeth Held on Vimeo.

Brady Huffman and his parents, Mike and Mary, live in rural Southeast Ohio.  Brady also lives with autism which requires specific needs.  The Huffman's are surrounded by country leaving miles between them and the local public school.  Being seven years old, Brady is eligible for conventional schooling with children his own age with similar conditions.  The local schools and Brady's homeschooling staff believe socializing is key in proper development for children, especially ones with conditions like his.  The Huffman's believe otherwise.  At this stage, the one on one interaction Brady gets from his teachers is too priceless to loose.  His ability to explore his surroundings at his own pace has shown Brady's parents more improvement in his development than any other form of education.  Both forms have their benefits and draw backs and Brady's best interest is always in mind.
