2026 Dallas-Fort Worth Session Schedule

Details pending.

Learners in the same room rarely learn at the same depth - that's not a problem to solve. It's an opportunity. This session draws from design thinking and creative learning practices to explore how one idea can offer multiple entry points across ages, abilities, and developmental stages. 

You'll leave with practical tools for building layered learning experiences that honor neurodiversity, invite open-ended exploration, and give every learner a way in.

Homeschooling children with learning difficulties can be challenging for all parents, especially if you also struggle with learning challenges such as dyslexia or ADHD. Many learning disabilities are hereditary, so parents often find themselves teaching children who share their learning difficulties. 

The great news is that neuroscience has taught us not only how to be better teachers with these issues but also how to change and rewire the brain to overcome learning challenges, regardless of the age of the child or the parent. Come learn about the amazing, malleable brain and how to harness neuroplasticity to help your child learn and reach their full potential.
