VIEW ALLI've only been a member for a few months, but I joined in crisis and got such an amazing peace of mind. I will be a member of HSLDA until I no longer homeschool and I'll recommend them for life.
I initially joined HSLDA for the legal protection, but have found you to be an invaluable resource. I have found your special education references to be a wonderful asset, and we are making progress where the school and therapists were making none.
HSLDA is a fantastic organization! We have been members for years and continue our supporting their efforts through membership even though our youngest graduated two years ago. Valuable resources and wonderful people.
