Educating Children With Special Needs

Many families are educating children with special needs. Like most homeschooled children, these children generally do well in the home environment with love and nurturing from their parents.

• CHASK - Christian Homes And Special Kids - adoption/special needs children.

• HSLDA - Struggling Learners - Hundreds of families are homeschooling children whose special needs range from attention deficit disorder to severe multiple handicaps. Parents often find that when they bring these children home to be educated, they come out of the "deep freeze" that has kept them from making significant progress in traditional settings.

• LD ONLINE - Online Resources for Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

• Learning Abled Kids' Poll Data Results - Sandy’s Master's Degree Project is focused on homeschooling children with specific learning disabilities. You will find statistical data stemming from informal polls listed on home schooling Listservs.

• Math-U-See - Math•U•See is being used with special educational students, and we are seeing great results.

Present the new concept to your students using these three presentation models:

• Build it: Demonstrate how to use the blocks (or fraction overlays) to solve the problem

• Write it: Show the problems on paper as you build them, step-by-step.

• Say it: Explain the "why" and "what" of the math you are doing.

By using Build, Write and Say, you are helping the students to use their eyes, ears and hands to learn.
