Practical and Uplifting
This book would be very helpful to any homeschooling parent with a "high needs" child, whether or not the child has a disability label. Sharon Hensley does an amazing job of including both very practical information along with inspiring and uplifting viewpoints. The book is compact, and easy to read, yet not simplistic. Before I started to home school my children, I was a special education teacher for many years, and have a Master's Degree in special education. Even though I've done a lot of reading and research, I still found this book to be very useful.

wonderfully informative and practical
I was captivated by this book from the beginning.First she explains the differences between learning disabilities and normal variations in learning styles.Then she deals with parental academic expections and realistic ones.She also dispells the myth that homeschooling is the magical cure for learning disabilities,rather the opportunity to tailor a program to best suit the individual.This book is packed full of resources to help with a specific need or area .She combines her child develpment and special education knowledge with the honesty and humility of a mother who homeschools three children, one who is autistic. I would reccomend this book to anyone.
