Homeschooling Your Gifted and Special Needs Child | Get Started
You're suddenly homeschooling your differently-wired child... now what?
Description
- Learn how to become a student of your child so that you can pinpoint how he/she learns best.
- Tease out — and identify — your homeschooling ‘why’ so that you remember what this is all for when times get tough.
- Find out how to choose and design the perfect curriculum when those “boxed” programs just don’t seem to fit the asynchrony you live with on a day to day basis.
- Get tips on how to avoid discouragement and keep advocating for yourself and your child when it seems like you’ll never find anyone who truly “gets” your differently-wired kiddo.
- Learn how to find or create the perfect tribe of support for yourself and your kids (hint: it might not be easy or local, and that’s okay).
- Build your own method of planning, record keeping, and forming routines that will take you all the way through homeschooling your differently-wired kiddo through high school.
- Gain confidence in your own assessment of your child’s unique and individual needs, and the knowledge that you are the perfect parent for your perfectly imperfect child.
- Know that you CAN do this and that we’re all right there with you to help you along the way.
