Unschooling Children with Special Needs
Workshop by Cindy Gaddis
Have you wondered if unschooling can meet the needs of the special population? What if your child struggles with even learning how to speak, let alone learning his numbers? What if he doesn’t independently learn easily from his environment? What about special services? Let’s discuss and share ideas on how unschooling can be an ideal setting that utilizes each child’s strengths and learning style. (Special needs in this workshop will specifically address serious mental disabilities such as moderately affected children with autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation, multiple handicaps, etc.).
