Our goal is to provide materials and information for homeschooling families, occupational therapists, speech therapists, teachers, and specialists who work with children who have developmental delays, learning disabilities, or other special needs. Professionals, as well as parents and families interacting with special needs children, need materials and teaching tips that will be effective in promoting successful learning experiences while reducing frustration for children, teachers, and parents.

Special needs children such as those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD) are often exceptionally creative or talented in areas not traditionally recognized in academic settings. Many such children thrive in a home school setting, yet still benefit from the use of simple special needs products that help to maximize their success.

Group settings are challenging for children who have ADD/ADHD or even those children who just learn differently than most. Adapting or modifying curriculum or the learning environment can make a big difference to special needs children. Heads Up! has selected special needs products that are frequently used by educators, occupational therapists and speech therapists to help children achieve their goals. Homeschooling parents can easily use these resources as well in their home schools.

Sensory needs may interfere with learning for some children. These needs are sometimes addressed through occupational therapy. Sensory issues can be identified in the classroom setting or at home, and some of the special needs products were chosen with sensory needs in mind. They are especially useful for children who frequently fidget or seek out ways to decrease or increase sensory input through various activities or behaviors. Many materials can also be used to further develop fine and gross motor skills.

Whether a child is primarily a visual, auditory, tactile-kinesthetic learner, or a combination of types, it is challenging to find ways for each child to experience success and appreciation for his or her unique approach to life. Home schooling, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and more can help special needs children develop academic and life skills.

All Heads Up! special needs products have been carefully selected to help special needs children, speech and occupational therapists, teachers, parents, and homeschooling families. The information and products are intended to support those who recognize and work with children in such a way that uniqueness is valued and enjoyed.
