About this Episode

How can you help a child who learns differently truly thrive?

Zan Tyler sits down with longtime friend and educator Beth Moore, who spent 25 years teaching in public, private, and homeschool classrooms and homeschooled her own two children with ADHD and dyslexia. Together, they discuss neurodivergence, the strengths often hidden within learning differences, and the support children need to succeed. Your child may learn differently, but with patience, understanding, and the right tools, they can flourish.

Meet My Guest

Beth Moore has spent 25 years in education across public, private, and homeschool classrooms, teaching everything from preschool through second grade and leading elementary and middle school homeschool co-op classes. She holds a master’s degree in early childhood education from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she grew up. In 2006, Beth and her family moved to Columbia, South Carolina, where she began homeschooling her own two children, Daniel and Samantha, through graduation. She became an NILD Level 2 educational therapist as well as a Woodcock Johnson administrator when she worked with Discovery Therapies in Columbia for several years. She has been on staff at the South Carolina Association of Independent Home Schools (SCAIHS) since 2013, where she works with families in the Exceptional Learners program, helping parents of children with physical, mental, emotional, and cognitive differences build a homeschool plan that fits their child. Beth loves sharing both her triumphs and her failures with other homeschooling families and brings a rare combination of classroom training and hard-won, real-life homeschool experience to every conversation about kids who learn differently.

At BJU Press Homeschool, we’re committed to providing children an education from a biblical worldview that is academically sound and challenges them to advance, think critically, and live like Christ. This type of education is not often possible in public schools because of the number of children taught in a classroom, a difference in worldview, and peer and societal pressure to conform. Homeschooling allows parents to instruct and disciple their children without daily fighting messages from an opposing worldview taught in the classroom. And with tuition costs and fees for private schooling or tutoring, homeschooling may be the only option for parents who are concerned for their children’s physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
