Do you need Free Homeschooling Curriculum learning disabilities?

I’ve listed several high-quality, free online learning programs. These programs can be used as free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities. They’re ideal for kids with ADHD, dyslexia, or dysgraphia because they’re interactive and have an audio component that accommodates for weak reading skills.

I have several categories of programs listed. Therefore, scrolling down all the way to the bottom will give you the most choices. Scrolling to the bottom is most important if you’re looking for a specific type of curriculum for your child.

The programs I’ve listed below are suited for Homeschool Curriculum for Learning Disabilities for the content portion of your child’s schooling. By that, I mean you can use these programs for science, social studies, and reading and math practice.

Children with ADHD often like the engagement of such programs for a portion of their learning even though they prefer kinesthetic learning activities or activities for tactile learners.  Using noise cancelling headphones helps kids with ADHD focus on the lessons as explained on the Noise Cancelling Headphones Assistive Technology page.

These programs provide audio-visual learning, and include tactile movements that are suited for learning reinforcement in children with a kinesthetic learning style too. They aren’t complete remedial programs though, so you’ll probably still need specialized programs for teaching remedial skills for dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia.

The audio-visual nature of the programs will help your child with ADHD or Dyslexia learn, so they make good Homeschool Curriculum for Learning Disabilities. Since these options for Free Homeschool Curriculum for Learning Disabilities have audio, your child doesn’t have to be able to read well. With the visual component, the programs are great for teaching visual and hands-on learners too.

As homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities, these programs are all great to use for the content portion of your homeschool curricula. See what you find below that may meet your needs.  If you need more options, check out “Home School Curriculum for Learning Disabilities” for additional curriculum providers.

Free Online Homeschool Curriculum for Learning Disabilities Engagement

Interactive Sites for Education provides K-5 online, interactive, educational games and simulations in one place.  The interactive, audio-visual lessons are organized in broad subject areas such as Language Arts, Science, Math, and Social Studies.  Each broad area is then segmented into specific topics with multiple interactive educational choices.  The Interactive programs linked to by Interactive Sites for Education are of very high quality and likely to be engaging for any student. It may take a bit of planning and organization of the lessons for you to use this as a free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities, but there are so many lessons that you can cover a lot of content.

ABCya has lessons created by teachers, based upon lessons they teach in their classrooms.  The website contains math and language arts concepts for grades K-5.   The only thing  I don’t care for in this site is that the “grade level” is very prominent in the design. The grade displays can be an issue for a child who is in 4th or 5th grade and needs 1st or 2nd grade content. Kids are somewhat likely to balk at working at a lower grade level.  If the lessons were based upon a progression of skills, regardless of grade level, then it would be easier for parents to get older children to use the site.  Overall the site has great content that you can use as free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities, so you may want to give it a try.

For K-12, WatchKnowLearn.org is an awesome place to start!  This is my top choice for free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities for elementary-aged kids. You begin by putting in your child’s age, then the topic you want.  For example, if you type in “Fractions” for age 12, you can watch the Introduction to Fractions Song, Mr. Duey – Fractions Rap, Basic Math: Lesson 6 – Video Clip #3 – Equivalent Fractions or choose from a wide variety of other lessons on the topic.  This resource can be extremely helpful if you need to find an audio-visual means of teaching your child any specific concept.  Some of the videos will be helpful for kinethetic/tactile learners if they get up and move along with the videos. As with earlier options, you’ll have to put in some planning and organization effort to make Watch Know Learn serve as a free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities, but this site is well worth your organizational time.

The Khan Academy, funded by Salman Khan, is similar to WatchKnowLearn, but is geared more towards high school, college, and adult level studies.  If you have an advanced learner, the Khan Academy is a great, free resource for audio-visual learning. It’s awesome as an option for free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities.

Also at the high school-college level, there are great courses available through Coursera.org.  These courses are offered by a consortium of universities, so they would be best suited for advanced learners.  The courses run in specified timeframes for a varied number of weeks, but the descriptions say the courses are “at your own pace.”  This would be a good option for advanced, 2E students who are able to finish within the specified timeframe, and want to focus on just a couple of courses at a time. This isn’t an option that will work for everyone, but I thought I’d mention it because it is a great free homeschool curriculum for learning disabilities option for 2E kids.

Both AcademicEarth.org and edX.org offer free online courses from some of the top universities in the world.  The courses are free, online, include teaching videos and interactive exercises. Learning is at your own pace, but does require you carefully consider whether the student is prepared to study at the high level of teaching provided through these videos.  These courses are ideal for gifted learners who want to independently advance their learning.
