  • 86: Tired of the Resistance? How to Position Your Neurodivergent Homeschooler for Success, with Afsaneh Moradian

    In this episode of the Homeschool Our Way podcast, I’m joined by returning guest Afsaneh Moradian—children’s author, educator, and the founder of MLC Homeschool Coaching.

    Afsaneh coaches parents of neurodivergent children who are struggling to make homeschooling work. Her approach focuses on communication, planning, and connection—and she brings so much wisdom about how to shift from traditional expectations to an approach that actually works for your unique learner.

    We talk about: 

    ✅ What resistance in homeschooling really means

    ✅ And how to create an environment where your child wants to learn

    ✅ Three things look for in co-ops, micro schools, or group settings

    Whether you're homeschooling a child with ADHD, anxiety, sensory challenges, or any other neurodivergence—or just looking for a more responsive approach—this episode will encourage you and equip you.
