Homeschooling a child with special needs can be an incredible journey--one filled with unique challenges, triumphs, and moments of deep connection. However, it can also feel isolating, overwhelming, and confusing at times. Parents who homeschool children with learning differences, medical challenges, or developmental delays often find themselves searching for resources, community, and expert guidance to better support their child's education.

This annual event is designed to equip, encourage, and empower parents who are educating children with special needs at home.

Picture
This is the first installment in a six-month long series on homeschooling various special needs, in anticipation of the Homeschooling Special Needs Expo, an in-person conference coming June 28-29, 2024 to Shelby, NC. Open to all in the United States, this conference is the first of its kind in the nation, featuring Temple Grandin delivering the in-person Capstone Keynote and a church track to help churches minister to special needs families, in addition to helping teach parents how best to homeschool their special needs children and teens. For more information on the conference, click here. 

What is executive functioning? Executive functioning are those skills that help a person plan ahead, meet goals, follow multi-step directions, have self-control, and manage distractions. For many kids (and adults!) with autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent issues, executive functioning skills are not innate. However, one can exhibit executive function delays without having autism, ADHD, or other issues. The keys to help a child with executive functioning issues are to identify the issues and then to train the brain to develop those skills.  There are eight key executive functions: Impulse control, Emotional Control, Flexible Thinking, Working Memory, Self-Monitoring, Planning and Prioritizing, Task Initiation, and Organization.  Here are seven ways to homeschool kids with executive functioning issues.
