s2e24 Exceptional Grace: A Conference for Exceptional Learners
In this episode, Rowan interviews Heather Zwart about an upcoming online conference for exceptional learners which is being put on by OCHEC, an Ontario organization which supports homeschoolers. You don’t have to live in Ontario to attend this virtual conference. You don’t even have to be a homeschooler necessarily to get this support.
Here’s the link to the online conference: https://ochec.org/convention-2021/ but don’t forget to pin this post on Pinterest as a way to get the word out to others with exceptional learners.
If you haven’t already had a listen, check out this interview with Louise House of The Learning House on the topic of homeschooling children with special needs: https://www.canadahomeschools.com/episodes/special-needs
Rowan will be doing a seminar at the conference about using audio in your homeschool and how that can be helpful for children who have exceptional learning needs, so check it out!
Heather mentioned the need for volunteers at OCHEC, and gave me this information to share with you:
If you are a member you can access the volunteer application from our home page. Remuneration will be considered only as funds become available. If you would like to see OCHEC continue to serve the homeschooling community, please consider becoming a member.
