Having a child with special needs comes with many unique challenges including the need for specialized curriculum and products. Many of the resources created to help children, and parents, overcome these challenges are made for public school environments and may not be readily available to homeschoolers or may be difficult to locate. We have gathered together some resources here that we hope will help you find just what you need to help your child succeed in school and in life.
