259. Home Is Our Classroom: Homeschooling A Child With Down Syndrome


Listen Later

Friends, we know there are so many ways to learn, join us today as Mercedes chats with fellow homeschool mama Rachel Prescott about what it's like to homeschool kiddos with (and without!)  Down syndrome. Mercedes has homeschooled her daughter Sunflower who has Down syndrome and her three boys for over five years now, Rachel who has twin six-year-old daughters Nettie and Lottie who have Down syndrome, and two boys ages 8 and 10. They share what an average homeschool day looks like for them, the benefits they’ve seen for their families, resources they’ve found helpful, and so much more! Learn how co-ops, standardized testing, and therapies have played a role in their journeys so far, and what kinds of activities their kids have participated in. Whether you’re considering homeschooling or are just curious about what a day in the life of a homeschool mama looks like, this episode is one you don’t want to miss!
