How has unschooling helped us.

Just a little backstory of how we came about finding and doing unschooling. So, we have a 13-year-old daughter that has been in traditional schools since pre-K. She has a lot of health conditions as well as mental conditions. She is doing really well in school on the days that she's actually able to go. When Covid started her school gave us the option for digital learning online Which worked out really great, so last year she got accepted into a gifted Academy online scholarship. Her scholarship was through the special-needs scholarship program. She has been in special education classes since second grade only because she needs accommodations like extra time to do her work and redirected because she does suffer from ADHD inattentive, she's high functioning autistic, she has sensory processing disorder, executive functioning, anxiety, social anxiety, ETC... That is just to name a few for health conditions consist of asthma, severe breathing condition, periodic fever syndrome, she can't go outside in the sun because she will break out in a rash severely and can't breathe, ETC... this is just a few of the conditions that she has. This year when school started back the Academy that she was in no longer accommodates for IEP that she has to do and her doctor has recommended that she does not go into public school in person because of her health conditions and she is out of school so much because of it she'll benefit better from her health and her education from doing it from The safety of her home and I agree so I withdraw her from school and was going to start homeschooling and I came across this unschooling. now mind you they say that she has a very high IQ it's just her poor mind can't slow down enough for her to process everything at one time she can process it just on her time and takes her longer to do it so with the unschooling it gives her the adequate time that she needs because it's not like traditional school it the curriculum is based around what the kids the students desire. And let me just say it has been awesome this way there's no pressure of work that needs to get done there's no pressure of testing that needs to be done. They learn from everyday things that you already do, like going grocery shopping measuring food in the kitchen, helping change in the cabin filters inside the car counting things down to even playing games on their computer, game systems, etc. now at first I was a little skeptical about the game situation with the game systems but I have done a lot of research and have found a few platforms that actually do help these kids and I never thought about it before until now like for instants Minecraft. Well Minecraft teaches them longitude, and latitude ,math ,geography type stuff because they have to build which means they have to count blocks they have to figure out which direction that they go there is a Minecraft unschooling program I will say that it is not a free program but there is ways around that, there's games like animal crossing that they physically have to read in order to play so therefore they're learning to read and the list goes on and on with these games I never thought that games would be that educational and I always tell my child you know put the games down you know you go to something you know to stimulate your mind but little did I know they were already stimulating their mind so you can incorporate Like field trips that you want to take for instance we just went to Chattahoochee Nature Center as a field trip for unschooling we went to the puppetry museum of arts in Atlanta from one of our field trips we go to the library about every other day for you know learning experience and she loves it I will list some of the sites that will explain more in depth about unschooling to you so you can understand a little better and I still don't understand all of it quite myself yet we're getting there but it has made our household a lot easier and I don't have to worry about her health condition as much because she's at home with me and I can constantly monitor her and it's really good for children who are in special education classes because you know your child better than anyone so therefore you can decide you know what would help them better and they can decide what would help them better and then they all get to where they get their education but they're not forced to learn things that they may or may not use in life.
