Empowering Homeschool Conversations

Peggy Ployhar, Founder and CEO of SPED Homeschool, speaks to one of the most frequently asked questions she has received over the past 17 years: "What curriculum would be best to teach the unique needs of my child?" Whether you have a child who has a specific diagnosis or one who just struggles in one area of school or another, Peggy addresses in this talk how to take the curriculum you already own, or plan to use, adjust it to meet the specific needs of your child, and consequently dissolve the struggles you are currently seeing in homeschooling your unique child.Other topics covered in this episode include:Homeschool Curriculum for Unique Learners Ideas for Bringing Learning to Life for Students Creating a Lifestyle of Learning in Your HomeMotivating Homeschool Students in Areas of Weaknesses and StrengthsWatch the full broadcast on YouTube at https://youtu.be/0FOcl6YzpT0This episode of Empowering Homeschool Conversations was funded by viewers like you.
