Hi,
I have been told that Waldorf curriculum is good for special need children. Does anyone here know much about this curriculum?

Hi!

I'll ask around, but in the meantime, there are a few books on the philosophy and basic concepts of Steiner thinking in the Homeschool Lending Library, which is at my place in Seletar. Feel free to come by and take a look.
