Blazing New Homeschool Trails: Educating and Launching Teens with Developmental Disabilities

Welcome to the Homeschool Mom Collaborative!

The Homeschool Mom Collaborative is a podcast, that highlights the independent businesses, entrepreneurs, ministries and creative works of homeschool moms (and families) around the globe. The Homeschool Mom Collaborative was founded by 3 homeschool moms: Susan Hale, Natalie Vecchione and Steffanie Williams. In each episode, Homeschool Mom Collaborative hopes to lift up the amazing achievements of those homeschool moms who embody the independent spirit of homeschooling.

This episode highlights Homeschool Mom Collaborative Co-Founder, Natalie Vecchione. Natalie Vecchione is a FASD parent advocate, podcaster, author…..and most importantly a wife and homeschool mom of two. Natalie and her husband, John, built their family through domestic adoption. Their son, who is almost 20, lives with a FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). He graduated from homeschool as a carpentry apprentice, he works part time at a home improvement store & he lives interdependently in his own apartment with 2 roommates. Their daughter is 7 and they have a much different adoption journey with her, as they are very close with their daughter’s birth family. Natalie turned her family’s unique challenges and journey with FASD from career reinventing into a calling when she and her husband began FASD Hope in 2020.

Natalie has been an FASD podcaster for 2 years. In October 2020, Natalie & John cofounded “FASD Hope” FASD Hope is a podcast, website and a place for awareness, information and inspiration for those people whose lives have been touched by an FASD. The FASD Hope podcast series is through the lens of parents advocates with over 19 years of lived experience. FASD Hope Podcast is available anywhere you find your podcasts.

Natalie’s new book “Blazing New Homeschool Trails: Educating and Launching Teens with Developmental Disabilities” by Natalie Vecchione and Cindy LaJoy is available on Amazon. Natalie is thrilled to be a Co-Founder of Homeschool Mom Collaborative!
