On The Hard Days

Ep. 88 Mom Marni Kammersell on How Homeschooling Allows Gifted Kids With Learning Disabilities to be Themselves


Listen Later

About This Episode: Marni Kammersell is homeschooling her kids, and boy does she GET it. The way she thinks about gifted, learning disabled children completely resonated with me in our conversation, and I just know it will for you too. Here are just a few of the topics we discussed:
-The "hyper-wiring" of gifted brains
-Can 2E kids thrive in a traditional school setting?
-Why IQ testing is a thing
-Is a label necessary for your kids when you're homeschooling?
-What it's like to be gifted with dysgraphia
-Playing to our kids' strengths in education

Marni Kammersell is a doctoral student at the Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education. However, her greatest teachers are her three twice-exceptional children. Together, they've been living a self-directed learning lifestyle since 2009. As a homeschooling and neurodiversity consultant, Marni loves sharing the latest research in neuroscience. She enjoys helping families transition from traditional educational models into homeschooling in a way that works for their unique learners.
