Welcome to episode 59 of the Joyfully Homeschooling Podcast.
When I had my podcast birthday and asked for episode recommendations many of you asked for more information on special needs. As a momma of a child with learning struggles, I was all for learning more about homeschooling with special needs.
So, when the opportunity arose to chat with Dr. Daniel Franklin. I jumped!

In this episode, we chat all about language-based learning disabilities, which to me, was a new term. It encompasses many different needs including ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and more. Anything that impedes language. I loved Dr. Franklin’s story and how he overcame his struggles and is taking what he learned from a very special teacher and is helping and encouraging special needs parents all over the world. Whether you have a child with special needs or not, you will leave this podcast feeling more joyful and encouraged as a homeschool parent.
Here are a few questions we address in this episode:
- What is a language-based learning disability?
