Homeschool students turned homeschool parents Nick & Ashley Taylor have a message for fellow parents of neurodivergent kids, and that messages is that you may be overlooking a superpower. In this raw and upfront interview Nick and Ashley talk about their own experiences in traditional school settings and homeschool settings as kids, their college experiences, and the ways they have been able to leverage the flexibility afforded by homeschooling to best meet the needs of their own neurodivergent kids.
If you or anyone you love has struggled with stigmas, external limitations, or misconceptions relating to a different way of thinking, you will find this interview at once cathartic and empowering. We also talk about some of the common limitations of a public school setting when it comes to meeting the unique needs of neurodivergent students, and I lay out why many students end up struggling without a diagnosis for the first several years of their public education, and how a homeschooling approach can help spare your child from this struggle.
This episode is one of my favorites, as this topic is one about which I am very passionate.
