Special Needs

Three Questions for Tomorrow
Three important questions:
1. What is autism?
2. If I have a child with autism, how do I best address his needs?
3. If I don't have a close familial relationship with autism, does it even affect me?
Autism Tomorrow would like to answer these questions (and a few more) while at the same time, introducing you to a NEW, ENGAGING and FREE (for S/H only) book entitled Autism Tomorrow, The Complete Guide To Help Your Child Thrive In The Real World.

Learning Styles Quiz
Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned veteran (I won't say "old-timer"), taking a learning styles quiz will help you understand and build a curriculum around your children's learning styles. As we all know, homeschooling is not just a method of education, it's a lifestyle. We want our children to become lifetime learners not only because it's a wonderfully natural way to be, but because they will need this if they are to keep up in this fast-changing world. The best way to become a lifetime learner is to develop a passion for learning. The best way to develop that passion is to make learning fun, relevant and fascinating.

Honoring Their Special Needs Through Homeschooling
The beauty of homeschooling is that it works to meet the needs of the individual student. Because of this, homeschooling is an excellent alternative for those students who are deemed at-risk of not succeeding or not completing their education. By recognizing the signs of at-risk students, parents and educators can make extra efforts to support and enable these students to succeed.

5 Tips To Help Homeschoolers Excel On Tests
We live in a test-crazy world and for many homeschoolers, the test-taking season is upon us. Many of you know Pat Wyman, affectionately known as "America's Most Trusted Learning Expert." We have interviewed Pat several times as part of our homeschooling Teleconferences, so we thought we'd ask Pat if she had some easy-to-implement tips that could help homeschoolers do well on any state tests that they may be required to take.
