Finding Joy in Homeschooling a Child with Special Needs | Episode 318
We welcome back Chelsea Jacobs from Yellow House Story Shop to discuss the realities and rewards of homeschooling a child with special needs. Chelsea honestly shares her family’s journey, including the adoption of her son Gabe from Rwanda, his cerebral palsy diagnosis, and the everyday joys and challenges of homeschooling alongside complex medical needs and other neurotypical children. With 14 years of homeschooling under Chelsea’s belt, we hope this episode is a great encouragement to all who are walking the same path!
In this episode, you will hear about:
- Why homeschooling can be a beautiful fit for children with special needs
- The freedom to slow down and embrace learning as a whole family
- How serving and caring for one another shapes siblings in lasting ways
- Encouragement for moms navigating therapies, medical needs, and homeschool rhythms
- Trusting the Lord to guide each season and provide exactly what your child needs
- Remembering that every child is a born person with God-given dignity, purpose, and gifts to offer
