Special Needs Homeschooling

If you are looking for answers and resources as you homeschool a special needs student, this page will provide some needed information.

Home education provides a safe, nurturing atmosphere which has been proven to enhance learning. Many parents find that homeschooling offers numerous benefits for their child with special needs. Homeschooling also can offer much more flexibility to teach to their child’s strengths than what is found in a public school setting.
