Every child has unique gifts. With the right resources, you can help your special needs child excel in a nurturing homeschool environment. At SchoolhouseTeachers.com, we understand the challenges and joys of teaching a child with special needs, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. Our extensive range of self-paced courses, hands-on learning opportunities, and specialized resources ensure that you can provide a customized learning experience tailored to your child’s specific needs. Access to all the courses allows you to mix and match grade levels and subjects to find just the right fit, as well as to switch courses mid-year.
Come for the flexible pacing … stay for the stress-free achievements.
STEP 1: Explore Our Special Needs-Focused Courses
Our platform is designed to offer flexibility and adaptability, essential for homeschooling children with special needs. With courses spanning a variety of subjects and learning styles, you can create a curriculum that truly fits your child’s unique strengths.
- Hands-On Learning: Many of our courses feature hands-on learning components, ideal for active learners who thrive with a tactile approach. Browse subjects like Math, Science, History, and Art, each offering tactile, practical elements. Don’t miss Kinetic Connections and Tips for Homeschooling Active Learners, special parent resources designed to incorporate hands-on learning across multiple subjects.
- Interactive and Adaptive Content: Does your child prefer video or audio-based lessons? Explore our Streaming Video Library of over 25,000 programs as well as our iST interactive platform for dynamic, engaging content that can help students stay focused and excited about learning.
STEP 2: Access Tailored Resources for Special Needs
Our Focus on Special Needs Center provides a wealth of information, strategies, and tools specifically designed to help you adapt mainstream curricula to suit your child’s individual learning requirements. Whether your child benefits from multisensory instruction or needs content broken into smaller, manageable steps, we offer guidance to make homeschooling successful and fulfilling.
You can also explore additional resources from our Parent eBook Library, such as:
- Homeschooling: A Natural Fit for Your Kinesthetic Child
- How Do I Teach My Platypus If He Won’t Sit Still?
STEP 3: Simplify Teaching with Adaptive Technology
Teaching a child with special needs often involves using innovative tools and technology to meet his or her unique learning challenges. With a SchoolhouseTeachers.com membership, you gain access to World Book Online, a powerful tool (retail $250/year—free for SchoolhouseTeachers.com members) that includes:
- Audio Learning: All World Book articles can be read aloud to your child, making complex topics more accessible.
- Open Dyslexic Font: This feature of World Book Online makes reading easier for students with dyslexia by adjusting font settings to improve readability.
These tools, combined with our lesson plans and recordkeeping options, help you streamline your homeschooling experience.
STEP 4: Build a Supportive Learning Environment
Your homeschooling journey doesn’t have to be a solo endeavor. You can choose to join our Schoolhouse Community of families and educators who share your commitment to special needs homeschooling. Connect with like-minded families through our Church Schoolhouse Network, or consider starting your own co-op if one doesn’t exist in your area. Ask your pastor to open up your church for one or two Schoolhouse days each week. Homeschool families need community where they can find support, advice, and encouragement every step of the way. The church Schoolhouse is the answer to homeschooling IN community with other likeminded families—many of whom have special needs kids as well.
STEP 5: Tailor Your Child’s Learning Experience
At SchoolhouseTeachers.com, we believe homeschooling provides the perfect opportunity to tailor education to each child’s needs and passions. Whether your child needs extra time in one subject or thrives in creative and hands-on projects, our flexible self-paced curriculum allows you to adapt his or her education even during growth and change. You have access to so much, and without limit!
- Multisensory Learning: Incorporate teaching methods that engage all the senses to accommodate your child’s learning style.
- Course Variety: Select from our wide range of courses that focus on creative arts, STEM subjects, and essential life skills, empowering your child to discover unexplored interests and excel in areas they already enjoy.
Whether your child needs support in reading, math, or other subjects, we provide the tools and the curriculum you need to help them succeed and thrive.
STEP 6: Experience Interactive Learning
