Summer study group powered by mothers - For Special needs Children?

Question

I am thinking of starting a study group for the summer. I have a son with special needs and would like him to keep learning math reading etc over the summer. I know other mother's homeschooling over the summer - is it a good idea to combine our efforts while our children of different ages, different diagnosis are out of school for the summer? I was thinking the mom's could teach and the typical siblings could also help out. Any ideas? I'd have it in my home.

This would just be similar to a homeschool educational cooperative.  You can find lots of co-op ideas online.  Yes, they are wonderful ideas.  You just have to be firm about the rules - many people do not understand the definition of the word *cooperative*, and will try to pawn off their kids on others just for some free time.
