Kathy gives talks at conferences worldwide and online

Online events

Having a child with learning challenges can make it hard to attend a convention. So Kathy talks online and in person. Some past events include:

On April 2, 2020, at 7 PM EDT, I gave a new talk, “Crisis Time Schooling at Home for Students with Disabilities.” My hosts, the Parent Educational Advocacy Training Center of Virginia, PEATC do great work helping Virginia families with students with disabilities.

Friday, March 27, with Kristen Eckenwiler and Kathy Kamibayashi (two dyslexia specialists who are also veteran homeschoolers). Q&A on “Have a Special Learner Suddenly at Home?” Hosted by the Home Educators Association of Virginia, it’s available here. We had many families join in who see this crisis homeschooling as their chance to test-drive home education.
In April 2019, I gave two talks for AOP: a short version of “Helping Distractible Students Succeed” for AOP Homeschool.

Earlier that month, I also gave an abbreviated version of my workshop on planning for AOP Homeschool’s Facebook page.
