Many people think of “special needs” as the same as learning disabilities, and many of these learning differences require special teaching methods. But “special needs” encompasses much more than learning difficulties. It is a broad range of needs, and a parent’s calling is to help children learn and fulfill their God-given mission.
Hundreds of families are successfully teaching their own children who have special needs. These special challenges are better handled in the loving environment of home.
Join us for this one-day mini-conference that will offer solutions for homeschooling families who teach students across a spectrum of special needs.

Auditory, What? (Dr. Jan Bedell)
Have you ever talked to your child and he looks right at you but goes off and does something totally different? You might ask yourself: Is this a discipline issue?

Setting goals that can provide a roadmap to your child’s education
Breaking the Myths and Walking in the Shoes of Students with Dyslexia, Learning, and Attention Challenges (Jill Stowell)

These experiences can be eye opening and transformational for parents of children who struggle with these and other learning challenges.

Learning Difficulties, Dyslexia, ADD/ADHD — There is Hope for Change (Dr. Jan Bedell)
Do you suspect Dyslexia/ADD/ADHD or other learning labels? Labels typically come from a list of symptoms, not a “disease” or “brain abnormality.” Dr. Jan will guide you through the root causes of symptomatic labels and give practical skills for training your child’s brain to eliminate the symptoms. Open a brilliant future for your child through understanding how the brain works…or why it doesn’t currently seem to be working so well. The goal of this workshop is to help you unlock your child’s full potential.
