Unschooling in a Neurodivergent Family

REPLAY

 With invited guests: Meghan Suniga-Davies and Munira Adenwalla
Hosted by: Esther Jones and Melissa Crockett-Joyoue 

Many families find themselves unschooling after realising that mainstream education is a poor fit for their children. In this session, we'll be talking about the ways in which self-directed learning is a wonderful opportunity for neurodivergent families, along with the kinds of challenges that might come up.

In this 90-minute Zoom session, you'll have the chance to engage in personal reflection, interactive discussion, and live Q&A with our experienced guests and hosts.
