In today's episode, "Unlocking Potential: Non-Traditional Teaching Methods for Students with Severe Learning Challenges," we delve into the world of homeschooling children with intellectual disabilities who are often relegated to a perpetual elementary school experience. From addressing specific struggles in teaching a child with intellectual disabilities and adapting curriculum to understanding learning behaviors and incorporating life skills, this conversation will provide practical insights and tips for unlocking your child's full potential. Stay tuned as our guest and Empowering Homeschool Conversations co-host, Stephanie Buckwalter, uncovers ways to navigate the complexities of homeschooling children with severe learning challenges and to empower them to thrive beyond traditional expectations.
Stephanie Buckwalter is a curriculum developer and the creator of the ELARP™ Method of homeschooling for students who are two or more years behind grade level in several core subjects, or simply stuck in perpetual kindergarten. She believes that the first step to homeschooling a special needs child is to assume intelligence. Once you realize there is more going on intellectually than your child can express, it opens up a whole new world of learning. Her family of five children has done homeschool, private school and public school (including the IEP process). In addition to homeschooling for over 18 years, Stephanie has taught classes locally and online, and helped start a robotics club, a classical education co-op and a special needs homeschool co-op. Her heart is to use her unique experience to help others experience success teaching their unique learners.

Learn about the Online Spanish Classes with Elizabeth Kouma in this short bonus podcast of Empowering Homeschool Conversations.
in this bonus podcast interview between Peggy Ployhar, host of Empowering Homeschool Conversation/SPED Homeschool Founder & CEO, and Elizabeth Kouma, Owner of Online Spanish Classes with Elizabeth Kouma as they talk about the highlights of these live interactive Spanish classes for anyone ages 4 and up.
Using the TPRS method, Spanish is used as a means to facilitate communication as students hear and use Spanish to tell stories. The class is a highly engaging, personalized, and effective way to learn Spanish.
The students build their vocabulary using highly-used words to craft stories. Outside of class, I encourage reading via a workbook and novels, both made for Spanish learners with a limited number of unique words. High frequency vocabulary is enriched with Spanish songs.
You'll have the convenience of a Spanish teacher in your own home when it works for you at a great rate.

This is a special 30-minute recording from Peggy Ployhar, SPED Homeschool Founder and CEO, host of Empowering Homeschool Conversations.
Are you feeling inadequate about starting the homeschooling journey with a struggling student or one who has a 504 plan or IEP? Peggy Ployhar, SPED Homeschool Founder & CEO, says when she would have been voted as the parent least likely to succeed in homeschooling, yet 18 years later she’s not only graduated 2 children from her homeschool but has also spent the last 15 years coaching other special education families towards homeschooling success. This session will equip families with 5 keys to homeschooling a struggling learner with confidence, and practical ways to put aside the things that may hinder applying these solid educational principles.
This is a special 30-minute recording from Peggy Ployhar, SPED Homeschool Founder and CEO, host of Empowering Homeschool Conversations, and recent cancer survivor, Peggy shares her own story of near burnout and how that experience led her to many realizations about how and why it was so important to prioritize her own care to keep everything balanced in her home and how she creatively plans to ensuring self-care into her busy working and homeschooling schedule. You will come away with new resolve and creative ideas for incorporating self-care into your own busy homeschooling schedule.

Speaking towards the scripture, “Train up a child in the way he should go…”, Peggy digs into the Bible to show parents how to live up to this standard without losing their focus, or their minds. From the experience of being a parent and a foster-parent of multiple special needs children, Peggy Ployhar has first-hand knowledge of the rigorous demands put on parents who are raising, training, and homeschooling children with special needs. Woven with personal stories, biblical truth, and lots of encouragement, this talk will truly speak to the hearts of parents who want to raise their special needs children as God has called them to do.
