At HSLDA we understand the importance of meeting the needs of all families, including those with special circumstances. For this reason, we have hired an exceptional needs consultant to provide the support that families need to successfully homeschool through the challenges. This service will provide access to appropriate resources in various provinces, assistance with Individual Education Plans and advice specifically related to your child’s exceptional needs.
This new service is one of the many benefits of having a membership with HSLDA Canada.
Your family’s annual membership fee includes a complimentary one-hour consultation per year.
Diane Geerlinks, Exceptional Needs Specialist
In this video clip, Diane Geerlinks, shares a glimpse of her journey, first of all, as a veteran homeschool mom and then as an educational therapist. She shares her passion for homeschooling children with exceptional needs, but more than that, she encourages all parents that there are great benefits to homeschooling a child that learns differently.
She highlights these 5 important elements as homeschool parents navigate this wonderful journey of home education for their exceptional learners:
1. Identification & Acceptance
2. Assessment
3. Teaching Strategies
4. Customize Curriculum
5. Find Support
