In this conversation, Sarah Collins, occupational therapist and founder of HomeschoolOT, explores what it looks like to build a learning environment that actually fits the child in front of you. Drawing from her work with homeschooling families and her own experience as a homeschooling parent, Sarah unpacks how sensory needs, motor development, and learning style should shape the way kids are taught — not the other way around. The discussion covers practical strategies for parents who want to move beyond a one-size-fits-all curriculum, how occupational therapy principles translate directly into the home learning environment, and why understanding your child's unique profile is the starting point for everything else.
