REMINDER:
This evening is USNH’s support group meeting!! Hope to see you there. Details are down below.
My name is Hicunni Chandler and I am the Director of Upstate Special Needs Homeschoolers (USNH) of South Carolina.
USNH, is a group supporting families that are homeschooling a child(ren) with different learning styles, disabilities, unique characteristics, or special circumstances.
USNH’s desire is to offer support, encouragement, resources, and opportunities for our children with special needs. We want to provide a platform that gives them the freedom to be who they are and to meet other friends along the same path.
I am working alongside Angela Perry, Option 3 director and administrator of UCHU-AA, United Christian Homeschoolers of the Upstate. Angela is serving with me as Assistant Director of USNH.
I am anticipating great things in the future for Upstate Special Needs Homeschoolers of South Carolina. I ask that you would please pass along this exciting information to you association members so that they can take advantage of this service to the Upstate homeschooling community that may have special needs children.
