The Problem
Children with learning challenges are not receiving an adequate education because of:
- increased usage of remote learning
- unresolved or lengthy IEP disputes
- undiagnosed learning challenges
- increased classroom sizes
- bullying…and the list goes on
Parents are standing up and changing these outcomes by homeschooling…but they need to be empowered to teach their unique learners. That’s the mission of SPED Homeschool!
The SPED Homeschool Model
We believe
…every child can succeed when provided individualized instruction and that homeschooling is one of the best options a family has for providing this type of education for a unique learner.
Our work at SPED Homeschool
…builds upon our board and team’s diverse homeschooling experiences, training, gifts, and enthusiasm for home education to equip other parents to homeschool their children with unique learning needs.
We provide families with
…quality homeschool information and resources from the perspective of parents who have homeschooled our own struggling learners, providing encouragement and hope for their homeschooling journey and for the bright future God has for their student.
We partner in these efforts with
…trusted curriculum providers, consultants, therapist, bloggers and other organizations who share our vision and desire to co-labor with us to empower homeschooling families of unique learners.
“Families who choose to homeschool do not do so lightly…these families sacrifice careers, time, and money because they believe their children have a better future than most educational institutions are willing to help them achieve. We must empower these families to reach that goal and press forward in our efforts to make homeschooling a more accessible school choice.”

SPED Homeschool has empowered me not only as a homeschooling mama, but also as a professional, special needs consultant by providing a platform to be able to share with other families our personal homeschooling journey, as well as be a safe and welcoming place to network, share resources, and to glean encouragement, wisdom and knowledge from others’ training and experiences.
