How to Homeschool Out of the Box Thinkers

Do you have a child that reading, writing, and/or math just doesn’t click no matter how hard you try or they try?
Is it more than just learning resistance? Could it be a learning difference?
In this heartfelt and practical session, Jessica Pyykkonen shares her home education journey with her Out-of-the-Box Learner, focusing on the elementary years (ages 5–12). Jessica Pyykkonen knows this journey intimately. One of her sons struggled for years... unable to remember basic letter sounds, numbers, or even the order of the months. His diagnosis included Visual Processing Disorder, Slow Working Memory, and a Reading Disability, though Jessica also saw signs of Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia.
She offers real-life insight, encouragement, and resources that helped her family navigate learning differences with grace and grit.
There will be ample time for questions, and space for parents to feel seen, supported, and inspired.
