Special Needs

You can do this!

Children with special needs, including ADD/ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and other situations, can thrive in a homeschool environment. Homeschooling a child with special needs gives parents the ability to cut through red tape, create their own schedule, and focus on their child’s interests.
