Ep.42 Engaging Neurotypical Learners feat. Natasha Anee
Welcome back to the show! This week the conversation is centered around neurotypical and diverse learners. I invited Whole Family Coach and Michigan native, Natasha Anee, to the show. Natasha shared her personal experience as a neurotypical learner and her homeschool experience with educating a neurotypical learner. Natasha's path to homeschooling started while volunteering in her son's third grade classroom and observing with rising concerns while he was in third grade. Natasha is the proud owner Consulting By Anee.
In This Episode
In this episode, Natasha shares how she advises parents and educators on differentiated instruction for learners who may be struggling within specific subjects. She highlights the importance of parents identifying possible neurological needs and supports that their children may have. Natasha breaks down the purpose of differentiated instruction for diverse learners with special needs. She encourages parents to look at each child separately to understand what the child's needs are. Parents should not force children to learn the same as others when their comprehension levels vary. Natasha encourages parents to allow their children to freely flow and learn without the typical structure found in public school settings. Natasha also shares how parents can find the resources needed for neurotypical and diverse learners.
Natasha believes that all parents should be their child's advocate. She believes parents do not need public school educators to direct the educational path of neurotypical learners. It is the job of parents. Parents can search for organizations and businesses that can provide services and support to neurotypical learners. Parents can help support their in learning how to order and plan things in their day-to-day tasks.
