Kids with autism, dyslexia, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities (including auditory, visual, attention, and cognitive processing disorders) benefit greatly from being carefully educated by those who know them best and spend the most time with them!
Teaching our children at home has so many benefits! Even if your child attends a traditional school, you can support their learning difficulties at home. Here are the benefits that I see:
(Watch or listen for more details on each!)
- Relationship Building
- 1:1 Instruction
- Instruction/Intervention throughout the day
- Individualized ABCs:
- At your child’s level
- Building on strengths
- Challenging appropriately
- Deficits worked on consistently
- Engaging your child’s interests
- Fun for your kid!
Note:
- Know yourself and your kid (will this work for your family?)
- You may want to hire a tutor or enroll your kid in a class instead
- At home interventions is highly effective for kids in traditional schools too (for all the same reasons)
- Very little time should be spent on intensive intervention
