The intention of this episode is to shed light on the topic and personal experience of homeschooling with PWS. We offer information so that families in our community, of all configurations (and Julie gets into that), can make informed choices about how their children with PWS are educated. We discuss how to decide if homeschooling is the right decision, or something you’d like to try, the different ways to homeschool, how to find credible information, curriculum, and resources, what it looks like to receive services, and building a homeschooling community. This episode is packed full of information, anecdotes, and, perhaps, inspiration to get you started.
