Special Needs Children’s Fund

“Whoever receives one of these children
in My name receives Me and
whoever receives me, receives...
Him who sent me.”
—Mark 9:37 Story of the Special Needs Children's Fund An increasing number of families with special needs children have begun seeking the benefits of homeschooling and the services of Home School Legal Defense Association . Approximately 10 percent of HSLDA member families indicate they are homeschooling a child with special learning needs. In 1993, HSLDA realized that more guidance was needed for these families and hired a consultant to assist our families with the learning needs of their children. In January of 2002, the Home School Foundation created the Special Needs Children's Fund. The Fund is designed to assist HSLDA member families with the financial challenges of privately meeting the academic needs of their special needs children. Many of these children struggle with learning disabilities, mental retardation, hearing or visual impairments, and severe disorders or syndromes. How the Funds are Disbursed?

Homeschooling the LD and Other Special Needs Child I am the parent of a child who would have been labeled "special needs" had he gone to a traditional school. Instead, my husband and I have always homeschooled our now 19-year old son. Aside from part-time attendance at the local university preschool, our son has never stepped foot in a formal classroom. Actually ... he did step foot in a classroom a few times when he came to visit me when I worked as a counselor in a public elementary school and he wasn't much impressed. I have put together these pages to act as a resource for those families with "special needs" kids who are considering homeschooling. I will constantly be adding to these pages - so check back periodically! I'm always on the lookout for new resources, so let me know of others that aren't listed here that will be useful for other families of special needs children.

    20 Elements of Success
    Checklist for Starting What about children with special needs? How do we get started in home schooling? Here are some suggestions to help you get started:
  • Seek the Lord and agree as husband and wife on your decision to home school. Continue to pray for wisdom, guidance, and strength. Make a daily quiet time with the Lord a top priority.
  • Research home education by reading one or two basic books on home education, such as Christopher Klicka's The Right Choice (available for $13.95 from HSLDA, Box 3000, Purcellville VA 20134), and back issues of The Teaching Home magazine. Meet and visit with experienced home schoolers in your church or local support group, and make an effort to attend your state's home-school convention.
  • Contact your state home-school organization to learn of local support groups, events, publications, and your state's laws governing home education.
  • Make arrangements to comply with the law according to your conscience and recommendations of state organizations and/or Home School Legal Defense Association. Consider joining HSLDA.

    Currently in America, hundreds of families are home schooling children whose special needs range from attention deficit disorder to severe multiple handicaps. Parents often find that when they bring these children home to be educated, they come out of the "deep freeze" that has kept them from making significant progress in traditional settings. Parents can offer their children individualized education, flexibility, encouragement, and support.
  • For learning disabled children who function best with "real-life problems" rather than artificial worksheet tasks, home schooling may be ideal.
  • For medically sensitive children , learning at home provides the opportunity for careful monitoring.
  • For attention deficit children who function best with uniquely structured time and fewer distractions, home schooling usually proves to be the answer. However, the decision to home school a child with special learning needs is a weighty one. Parents may meet pressure from the school district, or even the state, to enroll their child in the "system." Many encounter criticism from well-meaning family and friends, and most must deal with their own fears of inadequacy. Nevertheless, in record numbers, parents of special needs children are choosing to home educate, and most are finding that the rewards far outweigh the costs. Should any member family encounter legal problems, HSLDA will provide the aid of an attorney. HSLDA's Special Needs Coordinator

    HSLDA believes that home schooling may be the best way to meet most special learning needs, and we are delighted to assist dedicated parents in this endeavor. Our experience in defending home schoolers and in monitoring legislation has shown us that the battlefront for home schooling children with special learning needs is sometimes a heated one. There are two steps that we recommend our members take to help us defend their home schools. You may also find it beneficial to take these steps. As you read through these suggestions, remember that it is best to choose a course of action that fits the severity of your child's special learning needs.
  • Arrange for Regular Evaluations and Document Your Child's Progress. Whatever the severity of your child's special learning needs, it is important to keep accurate records demonstrating how you are meeting these needs and how your child is progressing. Much of your success in defending your home school against any legal challenges may hinge upon your personal determination of what is best for your child and upon your keeping accurate records. One of the most important elements of your recordkeeping should be documentation of periodic evaluations of your child's educational progress. As a general guide, the more severe the special learning need, the more frequent and thorough the evaluations should be.
