Stephanie Pack

Special Education Consultant 

Stephanie Pack is a homeschool mom of two wonderful teens, patriotic veteran’s wife and passionate teacher.  She received her undergraduate degree in Elementary and Special Education from Florida Southern in 1995.  

Their family homeschool journey began in 2011 when her daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia during first grade and needed more individualized instruction than she was able to receive in the classroom setting.  Each year since, the blessing and love of homeschooling only grows.  Stephanie has learned invaluable professional wisdom and perspective from her homeschool community and been inspired and encouraged all along the way.  

Currently, she is studying toward her masters in Special Education at the University of Florida having completed the Graduate Certificate in Dyslexia within that program this summer.  Blessings continue to unfold within this journey of homeschooling. The invitation from Terri to join Life Learning Academy and help other families is an exciting new opportunity.
