Stephanie is the creator of the ELARP™ Method, designed specifically for students who are two or more years behind grade level and need to combine academics with life skills in their education. Stephanie has homeschooled her five children, who range from gifted to having mild learning struggles to significant special needs. In addition to homeschooling for over 20 years, Stephanie has taught classes locally and online, and she helped start a classical education co-op and a homeschool robotics club. Her heart is to help others experience success teaching their unique learners, including those with moderate to severe intellectual disabilities.
If your child is way behind grade level, you may wonder, “What will we do after graduation?” No need to panic. You can focus on those skills that will lead to maximum independence in adulthood, whether that’s independent on their own or independent at home.
God has a purpose for each person, no matter their level of ability or disability. When you focus your homeschooling on shaping your child’s character and talents to fulfill the three circles of purpose (based on Genesis chapter 2), every day can be a win—even if academics are a struggle. Come, be refreshed and know that your homeschooling efforts are not in vain.
When teaching a neurotypical child, you can often just use the curriculum’s table of contents for your scope and sequence. But what happens when your child moves slower than that—even much slower? You have to set your own scope and sequence. This is the key to a successful school year, one where you don’t give up months—or even weeks—into the school year.
