Debbie Reber on homeschooling a neurodivergent kid
from Everyone Gets a Juice Box: For Parents of Neurodivergent Kids · host Understood.org
Debbie Reber tried everything to make traditional schools work for her neurodivergent kid. Three schools. An IEP. Therapists. OTs. Educational consultants. But homeschooling? That was a hard pass. Then her husband got a job offer on another continent and her options got very small, very fast. What followed was six years she never planned for — and wouldn’t trade for anything.
