Welcome to Unschooling Every Family, an unschooling support group for parents and caregivers of atypical* kids.
We have found that non-coercive and relationship-based approaches work much better for our kids than most mainstream methods of education and therapy.
Unschooling is a type of homeschooling, but it is very different from the “school-at-home” approach most people are familiar with. It requires a paradigm shift for parents’ minds, which is called deschooling.

This community formed on facebook because many families found that standard unschooling advice isn’t always written with their children or themselves in mind. You can now join our private support groups on Discord or Loomio to ask questions, read archives, or connect locally.
We ask everyone participating in this space to honor, center, and learn from each others’ lived experiences of neurodivergence, disability, and unschooling.
