GIFTS @t PLAY of NC is a special place for children and their parents who homeschool, private school or considering homeschooling one or more children with physical, developmental, medical, communication or learning challenges to come together. This group is open to North Carolina residents and surrounding states.

The GIFTS @t PLAY in NC is a voluntary support group for families with special needs children and their siblings. We are here to provide a support network. The bond that holds members of GIFTS @t PLAY together is their collective dedication to homeschooling as an educational alternative. GIFTS @t PLAY’s primary mission is to support members as they seek to live out this commitment on a daily basis. Assisting new homeschoolers is one of our top priorities. The first year of homeschooling provides unique challenges for families. GIFTS @t PLAY will help to provide support and information to first-year homeschoolers as they face these challenges. GIFTS @t PLAY is also part of a support system for the established homeschoolers. We strive to provide cooperative learning activities and socialization opportunities for both children and parents. We also make sure our members are aware of educational and legislative information relative to homeschooling special needs children. Much of this information is given through our group’s private message forum. Membership is open to any person regardless of age, race, religious ideology, or gender, though everyone should understand that this is a Christian organization and Christian practices are observed.
