A homeschool mom gets her son tested for dyslexia — he qualifies — and they refuse to give him the diagnosis because he's homeschooled. They called it "failure to educate." Have you ever been interrogated, profiled, or made to feel like a suspect just because you homeschool?

Homeschool expert Christy-Faith — author of Homeschool Rising, with over 20 years in education — shares three powerful strategies for handling hostile service providers, explains the power differential homeschool families face at appointments, and introduces the Christy-Faith List: a free nationwide directory connecting homeschool families with businesses and providers who support them.
