Michele Reuter is a homeschool mom who started this journey in 1997. Michele left the corporate world when her 7 year old daughter was about to start 2nd grade and would be part of the local school board’s ESE program. Tom Reuter, Michele’s husband, decided it would be in the best interest of their daughter to receive education at home. After not being able to find resources to support their neurodiverse children, Tom & Michele started a landscaping company to support their growing family and delved headlong into the homeschool journey.
Over the past 28 years, Michele has homeschooled her 5 children (2 of whom are still at home) and continues homeschooling the children at home and her grandchildren. All of Michele’s children have a variety of special learning needs, attention issues, and executive function dysregulation. Michele served as President of a large local support group for over 15 years. She is trained in a variety of programs designed for the neurodiverse and has been educating and supporting others' education journey for over 20 years.
