Our homeschool support program serves students in grades K – 12. Through this program, we provide individualized instruction to homeschool students, including those who are traveling! One-to-one and small-group instruction may be offered in our office, online, or in-home. Many of our homeschool students follow a typical learning trajectory. Some students may be identified as gifted, and other students might be diagnosed with a learning disability or other childhood disorder such as autism or ADHD. However, as educational therapists, we don’t believe these labels limit potential! We subscribe to a growth mindset, which we share with all of our students and their families. We know that all of our students have strengths, and we understand that we all have areas where we need to improve. As we work to increase our world knowledge, self-awareness, and social cognition, some specific academic skills we work to strengthen include:
- Reading Fluency
- Reading Comprehension
- Written Expression
- Listening Comprehension
- Verbal Expression
- Math Concepts and Processes
- Handwriting and Keyboarding Skills
- Study and Organizational Skills
Curriculum
Our homeschool instructors use the Core Knowledge curriculum as the foundation for content-area instruction. Core Knowledge is based on 
the work of E.D. Hirsch, Jr. It provides a research-based curriculum, designed and tested by educators. This curriculum engages students in diverse historic, scientific, and cultural content. It is carefully organized so that topics across subject areas build on one another to broaden and deepen students’ knowledge and skills and the approach creates a foundation for interdisciplinary explorations. The wide array of subject matter enables strong reading comprehension and critical thinking- the keys to educational success!
Methodology
In addition to the literature, language skills, science and history content, and math concepts found in the Core Knowledge Sequence, our homeschool students benefit from our staff’s instructional expertise! We seamlessly integrate our understanding of the brain processes that maximize learning into our teaching methods. We use research-validated intervention techniques from programs such as Seeing Stars, Handwriting Without Tears, Visualizing and Verbalizing, and Social Thinking. By integrating activities designed to develop social cognition and language imagery into our teaching, we ensure that skills and understanding go hand-in-hand. We know that not all students have the same learning needs or express their knowledge in the same ways. That is why we use varied teaching formats; our students learn from readings, discussions, projects, computer research, and field trips. Also, as in traditional learning environments, assessment formats may include recall of facts and written summaries; however, oral summaries, debates, performances, artistic renditions, visual presentations, and critical-thinking responses in the form of opinions are equally valued.
