The Learner’s Lab
You’re raising differently-wired kids.
They’re empathetic, sensitive, brilliant, intensely driven, ambitious, always moving, creative, ready to take on the world.
They are also anxious, absent-minded, rigid, don’t follow through, intense, sad, impatient, and stubborn.
They are amazing.
And they need a different approach!
The Learner’s Lab Is What You Have Been Looking For.
You can feel more connected as a family.
You can find community for yourself and your quirky kids!
You can have the support you need to create a homeschool you’ll love.
I am really appreciating these daily reminders to be intentional with my kids. After I finished teaching we went and grabbed ice cream and played on the neighborhood playground. I love how Colleen talks all about how we are creating bonds through shared memories!
Hi! I’m Colleen Kessler, gifted specialist, author, speaker, educational consultant, and homeschooling mom of four quirky, creative, differently-wired kiddos ages 8-18 who keep me second-guessing everything I thought I knew about parenting and education.
Can you relate?
Homeschooling is a challenge even under the best of circumstances — throw in giftedness, ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, anxiety, learning disabilities, or any other combinations of neurodiversity and it can feel overwhelming.
You’re not alone.
The Learner’s Lab is the community created just for your quirky family. It’s full of creative lessons, problem-solving activities, critical and divergent thinking games, and the social-emotional support differently-wired children and teens (and their parents) need most.
I can’t wait to welcome you.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MONTHLY PLAN AND AN ANNUAL PLAN?
Put very simply — there’s absolutely no difference in content. You get access to all the same lessons and challenges as they’re created and offered, along with access to the archives for as long as your membership is active.
The big difference is in the price. With an annual plan, you pay upfront for the year, it renews on an annual basis, and you get two months free! It’s twelve months for the price of ten!
WILL MY SUBSCRIPTION AUTOMATICALLY RENEW?
Yes! To ensure you don’t miss anything and remain at your current locked-in pricing, your subscription will automatically renew one year from the date of purchase (annual) or on the date of each month (monthly) that corresponds with the date you subscribed. You can manage your subscription at any time on your subscriber dashboard. If you cancel your subscription, you will remain an active subscriber until your renewal date — you do not immediately lose access.
Refunds will not be given past 30-days of a purchase date, and only on annual subscriptions.
WHAT AGE GROUPS IS THE LEARNER'S LAB BEST FOR?
The monthly LIVE lessons are designed to be enjoyed by the entire family, though some of the more jaded high schoolers (you know if I’m talking about one of your kiddos…) might need some persuasion to loosen up and have fun getting creative again, and the littlest of our homeschoolers will need help or might need to hang out alongside the family enjoying playdough or a coloring activity of their own.
The EQ Challenge Lab is designed to have multiple options so that all ages can find three activities to be able to complete the challenge, or to be completed as a family
The KidSpace forum is for all ages to have conversations and share their projects and passions.
There’s something for everyone!
WHAT IF I CAN'T MAKE IT TO A LIVE LESSON?
Replays of all lessons are included in The Learner’s Lab network indefinitely. You can access those along with all other challenges, conversations, and resources through your Learner’s Lab dashboard at any time.
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO BUY TO PARTICIPATE IN CHALLENGES AND LESSONS?
Nothing… except maybe some basic craft, school, and office supplies. The goal is to keep the activities and challenges simple, doable, and easily implemented in your home when you’re ready to participate. So, we try to keep it to things found around most houses.
We WILL publish a supply list at the start of each month when the live class registration link goes live so you have all the time you need to get any supplies you don’t have.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I CHECK OUT?
You will receive an email confirming your purchase. You can easily log into your account any time to access The Learner’s Lab content. If you have any problems, feel free to email [email protected] for assistance.
