New Free Resource for Homeschool Families: Plan With Purpose Using UDL

Homeschooling gives families the freedom to create meaningful, individualized learning experiences — but it can also feel overwhelming when you’re balancing multiple grade levels, learning needs, disabilities, or different learning styles under one roof.

If you’ve ever wondered:“How do I teach my children together when they all learn so differently?”or“How do I support my neurodivergent, gifted, or twice-exceptional child without burning out?”— then this new FREE resource is for you.

I’m thrilled to share Plan with Purpose: A Homeschooler’s Guide to Using Universal Design for Learning to Engage Diverse Learners — a comprehensive, practical, parent-friendly guide that helps you plan lessons with confidence, clarity, and intention. This full guide is now available as a completely free download for all homeschool families.

Why I Created This Guide

As a special education advocate, curriculum specialist, and special needs mama, I’ve worked with countless families who want to do right by their children but feel lost when it comes to planning academically rigorous, accessible learning at home.

Homeschool parents often ask:

• How do I accommodate my child’s disability?

• How do I challenge my gifted learner without overwhelming them?

• How do I keep my child engaged?

• What do I do when my kids are on totally different levels?

The answer — and the heartbeat of this guide — is Universal Design for Learning (UDL).

UDL helps you plan ahead for learner variability instead of reacting to challenges later. It makes homeschooling smoother, more inclusive, and far more joyful. And the best part? Anyone can use it.

This isn’t a short checklist or a quick PDF — it’s a full, practical homeschool handbook grounded in research and real-world experience.

Inside, you’ll find:

Including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, hearing/vision impairments, emotional/behavioral needs, and more — each with strengths, challenges, and actionable supports.
