Some families need more than one-on-one instruction. They need a partner who understands the bigger picture of their child's education. That's what our Special Programs are built for: dedicated support for homeschool families and for students with disabilities, grounded in real curriculum expertise and hands-on guidance.
Homeschooling gives your family flexibility but it also means you're the one responsible for building a program that actually works for your child. We help carry that load:
A learning plan built specifically around your child's level, interests, and goals, not a boxed, generic curriculum. We use whatever information you have to inform your child's learning to build a custom curriculum!
When your homeschool curriculum isn't working and you're not sure what to try next, we recommend proven alternatives we've seen real success with!
We offer regular time to ask questions, troubleshoot what isn't working, and adjust as your child grows. Whether it is an email or a text we respond in a timely manner.
For students with an IEP, or families navigating a new diagnosis or evaluation, we provide hands-on support most tutoring services simply don't offer.
The Curriculum Package is our signature offering. We attend your child's official IEP meeting with you (or simply receive previous IEP meetings and information from other providers), then build out a complete curriculum package aligned to it:
-Development of a full Student Education Plan curriculum
-Short and long term goals set for the entire school year
-Unlimited revisions throughout the school year as your child's needs evolve
Curriculum Development
A learning plan built around your child's actual accommodations and goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach. We collect as much data as possible so we can build a curriculum focused on whole child learning. We focus on:
- Provider Progress reports and assessments
-Previous IEP documents
-Parent experience with and knowledge of your child
We then use this informaiton to develop your customized curiculum!
A space to ask questions, understand your child's plan, and feel confident advocating for them. We respond to all forms of communication in a timely manner. This includes:
-Answering texts within 24 hours
-For longer conversations we schedule free 30 minute parent meetings to talk on the phone or over Zoom
-We respond to emails within 2 business days
Supporting a homeschool curriculum or an IEP goes deeper than tutoring a subject. It requires actually understanding how children develop and learn, not just delivering a lesson well. That's the background behind every plan we build. Our curriculum specialist has the following combined experience:
-C.L.A.S.S. Observer Certified: Members of our team are trained specifically to assess developmentally-appropriate teaching practices in classrooms from infant through 3rd grade.
-6+ years in educational research supporting school districts and universities directly.
-10+ years of hands-on tutoring experience across ages and needs, so every plan is grounded in what actually works in a real session with a real child.

"I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Shai. Our son is on the autistic spectrum and has ADHD. He is a very difficult child to teach because of these diagnoses. We were up front about this with her from the beginning and she was up for the challenge. She spent the time to build rapport with him on the front end, and employed a lot of thought, creativity, care, and expertise to crafting lessons for him that would be effective. She has weathered many really difficult sessions with grace, and our son is improving. I was especially impressed that she took the initiative to read his IEP to improve her approaches to teaching him. Interactions with her are always positive and pleasant, and her lesson plans are obviously crafted with a great deal of care and intelligence and expertise. I feel very grateful that I found her and I look forward to her helping our son progress for many years to come!"

"We are so blessed to have found Shai at ABC Learning Solutions. This is the first year we have decided to home school our son and felt overwhelmed until we found Shai. She has helped us to create an individualized education program tailored for his special needs and works on those goals on a weekly basis during tutoring sessions. She has also collaborated with his speech therapist so that we can work together as a team to meet the goals. Shai is energetic and friendly and my son loves working with her. Since Shai has started working with him, he is vocalizing more and able to participate in longer sessions. Shai is extremely dedicated, knowledgeable, hardworking and passionate about what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an educational consultant or tutoring services. She will meet the kiddos where they are and help them to grow and flourish. You will not be disappointed!"
