GOAT #24: Special Education with Regina Clausell

Parents of special education students can sometimes be nervous about homeschooling: circumstances at their local school may force them to withdraw their child or, like with the recent COVID crisis, they may just think it is the best option for their family.  Regardless of how these families arrive at homeschooling, it may not be as simple as buying curriculum, opening a book and leading a lesson. These students can have unique needs and require advocacy, whether with the school districts for services or simply in their day-to-day learning.

Today, Erin and Amanda speak with Regina Clausell, an educational consultant and executive coach with a combined 26 years of experience in a variety of roles in K through 12 special education and higher education. Regina details how she equips parents, families, and also educators to truly advocate for special education students and gives practical advice on how to do so!
