Ep. 79 - Homeschooling: The Miracle Solution of Families of Kids With Special Needs
Description
She was told she wasn’t qualified to teach her own child.
In this fiery and deeply encouraging episode, Christy-Faith calls out one of the most harmful lies parents of special needs children hear: “Leave it to the professionals.” After years of reading IEPs, working with families, and watching the system fail kids again and again, she delivers a bold message that parents are the real experts on their children.
And she’s not backing down.
From pediatricians who dismiss moms to school meetings where specialists don’t even show up, Christy-Faith shines a light on the broken promises of a system that too often leaves children overlooked. More importantly, she shows why homeschooling kids with special needs is not only possible but powerful. It can restore their love of learning, honor their unique strengths, and give them back their sparkle.
If you’ve ever been told you’re not capable, this episode is here to remind you: you already are.
