Homeschooling a special needs child

Over the last couple of years we have had several requests for assistance in Homeschooling special needs children. While we consider ourselves to be Homeschool Experts by most regards, special needs Homeschooling is a specialty field in and of itself.

A couple of years ago, we adopted a handsome little 6 month old from Dominica in the Caribbean. Since that time he has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Thus we are beginning on a new journey in Homeschooling in our family in working with this little guy.

To field some questions, we are blessed to have Dawn work with us in Customer Service who has experience in special needs Homeschooling. She introduced us to NATTHAN.com, the National Challenged Homeschoolers Associated Network which we have referred a number of people to.

Another great site I came across recently is ADDitudemag.com, which addresses ADHD and learning needs children. The symptoms of many diagnosis are similar and you may find some helpful information.

I was at the Airport in Nashville, TN a couple of weeks ago and felt a nudge from the Lord to speak with a women sitting there waiting for her flight to leave. Turns out she is raising an FAS son and she had so much good advice that I needed to hear in raising our son. She was a God send and her experience and encouragement was much needed.

If you have experience with Homeschooling special needs and learning disabled children and have experience to share or a word of encouragement to give, we really want to hear from you.

May the Lord grant us all special wisdom to assist us in producing glorious fruit for His glory.
