A World of Difference: Embracing Neurodiversity | Homeschooling the Neurodivergent | S5E2

Beacon College's "A World of Difference: Embracing Neurodiversity" The Podcast

For many children who learn differently, public and private school classrooms which largely are geared for neurotypical learners, can be a struggle. That’s why educating these students at home with a curriculum tailored to their unique needs often is seen as a potential lifeline for children with learning and attention issues.

But is it the right choice? We delve into the world of homeschooling neurodivergent students and the delicate balancing act of providing tailored education and essential socialization.

On this episode, we check in with a Florida family with two neurodivergent students that turned to homeschooling. Next, our panel of national experts explores whether homeschooling kids who learn differently is a path to unlocking their full potential, or a risky gamble. And later, you’ll meet our latest Difference Maker, whose journey to conquering the North Pole began not in the frozen tundra, but with her struggle to master the three Rs.
