PREACCH is a fellowship of Parents Rearing and Educating Autistic Children in Christian Homes. Jill Bond's family founded this group about 15 years ago and published a newsletter --- they have stopped the newsletter and have switched to this e-mail format. This group is organized to encourage those who have decided to educate their child who has autism in the home -- commonly called homeschooling.

Membership is restricted to those who will agree to pray for other members and to honor the privacy of others' comments, questions, and testimonies. Membership is also restricted to Christians.

This is group helps and equips others who have chosen to school their child with autism in their homes. We are not structured to advise families who have chosen the public school system for their child's education.

The purpose of this group is to encourage each other in the name of the Lord ---- especially about our BLESSINGS. These children are not disabled --- they are enabled by GOD.
