What helps neurodivergent young people thrive—and why unschooling may open doors traditional schools can’t.
Krystal Dillard, Executive Director of Natural Creativity, joins unschooling parent Jessica Hoffman for a grounded conversation about why unschooling can support neurodivergent young people in ways conventional systems often cannot. Together, they reflect on what works in practice, where challenges still arise, how families can approach this path with clarity, and what helps young people truly thrive. This episode offers honest reflections, real stories, and supportive guidance for anyone considering a self-directed approach.
