The Homeschooling Special Needs Online Conference is designed to encourage and inspire parents who are homeschooling special needs students of all ages: children, tweens, and teens. Designed to provide ideas, inspiration, and resources, participants will learn strategies on how to teach special needs students, gain resources, and be inspired by people who have special needs themselves.
Hi, I’m Terrie McKee. I'll be your moderator and guide as we hear from giants in the homeschooling blogging world, who are either experts in special needs or have in-the-trenches experience as special needs parents. We will also hear from advocates, organizations, and other resources to inspire parents who are homeschooling their special needs children -- of all ages.
I have four special needs children (autism, ADHD, juvenile diabetes, chronic migraines, dyslexia) and am the wife of a paraplegic man. I have 25 years' experience as a special needs mom, three years as a homeschooler, and nine years in conference planning.
