Special Needs Homeschooling
Today we are going to address special needs homeschooling. We need to understand that as parents of special needs children, there are options. And not only is homeschooling an option, but it is more likely a better option and sometimes the only one. Homeschooling is ideal for the special needs student and can learn to excel in ways that could never happen in a classroom. And as a parent, you are capable of educating your child regardless of what a school system or pediatrician tells you. Even parents with learning disabilities or special needs can do it.
I believe that homeschooling is not at it's peak. Not at the wonderful heights that it can be until you've taken it and you've adjusted it to your family's special needs.

Heather Laurie and her husband began their homeschooling journey 12 years ago. She is experienced mom of 5 children and 3 angels. She and her husband found out that our children and I have a mitochondrial disorder. It causes a large variety of medical and learning problems. This has brought their homeschooling journey to many unexpected places. They have homeschooled in the hospital, many doctor’s offices, and therapy parking lots. Four of the kids are on the autism spectrum and have varying levels of sensory issues. You can find her blogging about all of this and more at: SpecialNeedsHomeschooling.com Heather’s passion is to encourage, support, and pray with parents along the path to learning outside the box.
