When Wendy’s autistic daughter came home from school writing “I am not smart” on her papers, everything changed.

Initially completely against homeschooling, Wendy faced a painful truth: the public school system was failing her child. With IEP accommodations ignored, concerning approaches to gender identity, and even medical decisions made without parental consent, Wendy reached her breaking point.

She took education into her own hands.

In this powerful episode of The Homeschool How To Podcast, Wendy shares:

• Why she walked away from the school system
• Creative strategies like “grocery cart math” that made learning click
• How multisensory, movement-based learning helped her autistic daughter succeed
• Her bold stance: parents can educate neurodivergent children better than professionals
• What the 6% independence rate for autistic adults means for her family’s goals

Whether you’re homeschooling a child with special needs, curious about alternatives to public education, or searching for hope in your parenting journey—this episode will challenge and encourage you.
