Homeschooling with Down Syndrome and Tourette's: Real Mom Advice


Listen Later

What if the biggest challenge to homeschooling a child with special needs isn't the child—but getting yourself out of the way? Join host Lisa Bailey as she sits down with two homeschooling moms, Ginny Tran and Jody Priest, who share their real-world experiences raising children with Down syndrome, Tourette's, and OCD. From discovering diagnoses to navigating daily learning challenges, these mothers offer honest insights about slowing down, riding the waves of changing needs, and finding strength in community. Whether you're homeschooling a neurodivergent child or simply wondering how to better serve each child's unique learning style, this conversation will challenge you to see every child's "special needs" as simply different ways of experiencing the world.
