This seminar will address some of the most comment researched-based motivations to home education followed by some of the perceived impediments to home education. Some barriers will be shown not to be the obstacles that they may appear to be, while others, which may be genuine hindrances that emerge during the home education journey and how to overcome them.

This seminar will cover some basic research on home educating, but will mainly focus on practical tips, drawing information from seminar participants and providing resource for families to use in their continuing growth as home educators. As time allows, I will cover why parents are the perfect teachers for special needs home educators, why home education can help families find the perfect way, and tips for teaching reading to special needs students.
