Are you homeschooling a child with special needs? Perhaps you are homeschooling BECAUSE you have a child with special needs.
You are not alone!
Do you struggle with questions like these?
The 40th Annual Virginia Homeschool Convention has so much to offer the parent of a special-needs homeschooled child.
Danni Gugel is the senior director at The Nectar Group, a national education center focused on treating the root causes of learning challenges using cognitive neuroscience.

Disorganization, poor time management, and difficulty shifting gears are just a few of the symptoms of poor executive functioning (EF). EF skills enable us to develop leadership and prioritization—allow us to follow multi-step instructions, think critically, and adapt to change.
Session 4
Reading is the key that opens the door to an entire universe of learning. There is real hope for treating the root causes of reading difficulties and disabilities.

Session 1
Is your child a right-brain learner? If you have a child who doesn’t “like” schoolwork no matter what you do, you will learn much in this workshop.
Session 5
Many people think that some are just born with a “photographic memory.” But we now know that this amazing ability can be easily taught. Learn these techniques—they even work with adults!
Session 6
This fascinating workshop provides you with clues to your child’s brain/body chemistry. Over 85% of children who suffer from sensory processing disorders or attention or mood disorders when older have experienced multiple ear infections as young children. Untreated, these children often go on to have many hidden food allergies and asthma. It is easy to correct these imbalances at home and dramatically affect your child’s learning day.
Session 1
How can we relate well to people with special needs–and help families homeschooling with learning challenges? Consider how God can use special needs to strengthen all his people.
Session 4
Learn practical tools to remediate and accommodate disabilities and to help you find the appropriate college or other post-high school training—and strategies to help you and your teen keep going.
Session 5
Does your child struggle to write, to form letters, or to compose a clear paragraph or an essay? Learn about causes of writing problems, handwriting tips, and accommodations for dysgraphia.
Session 4
Each child is unique and has specific strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. So, how do you teach such a wide variety of learners in your homeschool?
