I support Homeschoolers!

Picture
I used to think there wasn't a more challenging or demanding job than being a stay-at-home mom.  Then I became a homeschooling mom!  The year I spent homeschooling our kids was both the most rewarding and the most challenging time of my life so far.  I obsessed over curriculum choices, searched for the perfect co-op, and planned many field trips (all this while maintaining my speech practice!).  I answered the questions from people in the library about why my kids weren't in school and well-meaning friends wondering whether or not they were getting enough socialization.  I choked up as I watched my daughter break the code of the English language and read her first word and marveled as my six year old son figured out on his own what a square root was.

The best part of homeschooling to me was that the kids could work at their own pace and their own level.  I knew what their learning strengths were as well as their challenges.  And on more than one occasion, I called a math-genius friend of mine to help me better understand math skills so I could in turn lead my son (who as it turned out always seemed to lead me).

Sometimes as homeschool parents, we reach a road block through which we alone are not able to guide our children.  If you have a child who is struggling with speech, language, or phonemic awareness (pre-reading) skills, please feel free to contact me.  I offer individual and small group therapy as well as consultations. 

(It was a tough decision for us, but our children are now in a small local private school.  And though I miss having them with me everyday and watching them discover the world around them, they are thrilled with their new school environment)
