“What are Special Needs and does my Child Have Them?” Webinar (Recorded August 6, 2020)
Are you frustrated with your child’s progress – but aren’t sure if it is really a learning problem? Learning Specialist and veteran homeschooler, Sharon Hensley, will guide you through the process of thinking about “special needs” in a homeschool setting. What exactly are special needs? How do you know if your child has a special learning need or is just lazy? Is it important to have a diagnosis? How do you get services and testing? What if you don’t want a label – can you still make accommodations for your child’s learning differences? Are attention problems a “special need”?

“Keeping Your Records” Webinar (Recorded August 18, 2020)
As a private home educator, what records do I need to keep? What are some ways I can store these records? How long do I keep them? Are there any optional records I should keep? Get answers to these questions and more as we share what records are required, what records are optional, and some ideas for keeping these records.
