Interview With A Special Needs Homeschooling Mom Natalie Vecchione of FASD Hope Our Homeschool Castle
-
- Education for Kids
Natalie Vecchione is an FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder) parent advocate, homeschooler, podcaster, but MOST importantly... she's a wife and mom!
She began homeschooling 7 years ago, when noticing how many accommodations her son (who was later diagnosed with an FASD) needed. After his diagnosis, she began advocating for FASD by being a peer support mentor and facilitating a support group.
Natalie is certified in Mental Health First Aid and has been a Board- Certified, Music Therapist for 25 years. Recently, Natalie has volunteered as a board member and social media coordinator for several North Carolina nonprofits.
In April 2020, Natalie began her new adventure in the world of podcasting through producing and hosting podcasts about FASD.... and she became a "Mom on a Mission with a Microphone".
In October 2020, Natalie and her husband John co-founded “FASD Hope”. The mission of FASD Hope is to provide awareness, information and inspiration to people whose lives have been touched by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
Natalie and John live in the farm country of North Carolina with their 5 1/2-year-old daughter (who just began homeschooling) and 18-year-old son (who just graduated from homeschooling and he is now proudly working part time as a carpentry apprentice and studying computer coding part time).
Natalie is thrilled to begin this new adventure of FASD Hope, LLC and the “FASD Hope” podcast series.
"We don't really think about whether today was a good day or a bad day. We savor the good moments and trust in God to bring us through the tough times." - John and Natalie Vecchione
