Many children with learning disabilities are taught at home. Like most homeschooled children, these children generally do well in the home environment with love and nurturing from their parents. Homeschooling a special needs child does come with its own challenges though.

Here are tips to help you get started and along the way:

Be well informed - do your homework

Learn all you can about your child's disability

Talk to others who have gone before you

Make sure you follow the legal requirements

Avoid burnout - take care of yourself

Please feel free to email me sites and information that you have found helpful in educating your special needs child.
