One of the reasons parents choose not to homeschool is that they don't feel equipped (especially if your kids have special needs or struggle in school)...

But we'd challenge that belief with this: who better to truly individualize education and empower a child to reach new goals than a mom who has their future in mind and best interests at heart?

SPED homeschooling is not without its challenges, but it's an opportunity to truly connect with your child and equip them in a way no school or amount of services ever will be able to.

Hear more about some of the challenges and blessings of SPED homeschooling in our latest episode!

There are so many blessings to the virtual homeschool community world, especially for families who are in the military, juggling special needs, or both.

Ashly brought a unique perspective as a SPED homeschool military mom, and if you're in a similar boat, you won't want to miss this conversation. We're so thankful for the work the Military Homeschoolers Association is doing to equip parents around the world and bring resources and communities where they're most needed!

Homeschooling a child with special needs gives you the flexibility and freedom to meet them where they are and enjoy who they are—without always being as worried about what they're not doing yet.

We loved Ashly's perspectives on taking time to pause and connect with your neurodivergent kids, building an education plan that truly serves them as individuals.

If you're looking for tools for more complex homeschooling situations (like military or special needs), don't miss this conversation!

Socialization is the big question every homeschooler has dealt with. But when you think about it, which option more closely models "real life" social skills 👇

🔷Being in a room with 20+ same-age peers, expected to sit quietly for large portions of time
💜 Or being in a situation with various ages/skill levels needing to cooperate together, learning while doing life?

Friendships are important, but the foundation you lay at home when you homeschool creates a safety net that your child will benefit from for years to come!

You are the best expert on your own child.

It can be scary to consider losing the "supports" that are present in traditional school settings, but as Ashly Barta shared on this episode, special needs homeschooling actually provides you with more opportunities to individualize your child's learning.

If you're doubting your ability to teach your child or are looking for encouragement from a fellow SPED homeschooling mom, don't miss this episode!
