FASD Hope is a podcast about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over 18 years of lived experience.
Episode 38 is the first of two "Special Needs Homeschooling" episodes and features Valerie Castle of "Our Homeschool Castle". Valerie has a family with five kids. They are a blended family, a special needs family and they have three kids under the age of five. This year, Valerie started a YouTube channel, website, Instagram and podcast with hope of helping families who were new to homeschooling. Valerie now focuses on helping families of kids with special needs navigate their homeschool journeys and she is also sharing her family's journey learning American Sign Language (ASL). On her podcast, Valerie interviews homeschool parents of kids with special needs. She believes that there is a lack of community and not enough support for special needs families (especially those who homeschool) and she wants to help others feel that they're not alone.
In this episode, Valerie discusses the following topics: her family's homeschool journey, when she made the transition to homeschool mom to special needs homeschool advocate / podcaster, the benefits of homeschooling, building on strengths, favorite homeschool activities, homeschooling three kids under the age of five and her words of hope for those families of kids with special needs who are homeschooling / considering homeschooling.
