Kathy Kuhl

Kathy Kuhl equips and encourages parents to help children with learning challenges. She speaks to and consults with parents internationally, combining a wealth of information and insight with practical suggestions, humor, and personal experience.

After homeschooling a bright, dyslexic, creative, and highly distractible son for grades 4–12, she interviewed 64 families homeschooling students with learning difficulties to write Homeschooling Your Struggling Learner. This handbook helps anyone supporting teens and children with challenges—including learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, autism, and giftedness—and others who “learn differently,” whether diagnosed or not.

Kathy gives private consultations in person, by phone, and internationally by email, voice, and video. Whether your child struggles or has given up, now is a great time to homeschool an exceptional child. Homeschooling lets us customize our children’s education, not only to their needs, but also to their strengths and gifts.

Her latest books, Staying Sane as You Homeschool and Encouraging Your Child, are short, practical guides to help parents, children, and teens thrive and enjoy their time together.

Kathy graduated from William and Mary, where she earned teaching certificates in secondary mathematics and English. She homeschooled her son for grades 4 to 12, taught junior high math in public school, taught algebra, composition, and geometry courses for homeschooled teens, and gives seminars for adults.

Kathy belongs to and recommends the following national organizations:

• HSLDA – the Home School Legal Defense Association
• LDA – the Learning Disabilities Association,
• CHADD – Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder.
• ADDA-SR – Attention Deficit Disorders Association – Southern Region. 

Kathy and her husband Fred are members of NewCity Church in Vienna, Virginia. They have two grown children and five grandchildren and live in Herndon, Virginia.
