Below you’ll read more from Jennifer, a mom of a special needs child. She explains why LIFEPAC is a good fit for her family because of her son’s special needs and their need to be able to take school work with them as they travel to appointments, etc.

When Jennifer Wilging’s only son, Tyler, was diagnosed with syringomyelia (sih-ring-go-my-E-lee-uh), a progressive spinal cord disease, she knew there were going to be many changes ahead in their lives.

Q: Why did you choose homeschooling?

A: We had no choice but to homeschool him. We had to pull him out of public school in the middle of his 3rd grade year because he has a rare spinal disease. AOP’s LIFEPAC curriculum has been a real blessing. When we finally pulled him out, the school said, “We were wondering when you were going to do that.”

 

Q: Why did you decide to use Alpha Omega Publications?

A: We wanted to be able to homeschool on the road without missing school. We’re on the road a lot for doctor appointments, and the LIFEPAC workbooks are really easy to just throw in a bag and take with us.

 

Q: What do you love about LIFEPAC?

A: LIFEPAC is so easy, and you don’t have to worry about anything. The worktexts go in order with how they’re supposed to be taught. You don’t have to piece together a whole curriculum. The progression of learning is really easy and well thought out, especially in math. I would have been lost without it.

 

Q: Besides curriculum, what other methods of learning do you use?

A: Field trips. When we are out and about, we try to experience everything we can. We do field trips with just us as well as with other homeschool groups.

 

Q: What are your favorite LIFEPAC subjects?

A: My son is very good at math, and I also really enjoy LIFEPAC History & Geography. I felt like they didn’t teach any of this material in public school, but LIFEPAC goes into so much detail.
