The Marshall Fire near Boulder, Colorado struck on 12/30/21 and has left over 1000 homes damaged and destroyed, and thousands of people without shelter in the middle of winter. Please consider donating to support victims and/or joining the Neurodiverging Patreon to raise money for relief efforts.
If you donate $5 or more to relief efforts, let me know on this form and I'll mail you a surprise (the form also has ideas for places to donate): https://tinyurl.com/neurodivergingmarshallfire And, join the Neurodiverging Patreon (or increase your existing pledge) during February or March, and I'll donate raised funds to a local organization supporting fire relief efforts: https://www.patreon.com/neurodiverging
In our last episode (listen here), I talked about my neurodiverse family’s experience homeschooling during the pandemic and why it’s working for us.
But I have complex feelings about homeschooling, so today I’m discussing my concerns, why I think disabled kids should be integrated into conventional classrooms, and why pulling disabled students out of conventional schools might set disability rights back.
