Our Special Needs program seeks to provide support to families that have children with exceptional learning needs. Led by Dr. Trudy Abel, HCF provides consulting services, research, curriculum reviews, and teaching strategies related to learning differences, disabilities, and disorders. The Advocate program coordinates a team of experienced homeschoolers to serve as advocates for families needing ongoing support.
