2025 Speakers - CHAP Convention

Sarah Collins, MSOT, OTR/L

Bio:

Sarah Collins, MSOT, OTR/L is an occupational therapist with a background in both pediatrics and home health, and a homeschooling parent. Sarah was first introduced to homeschooling in 2016 while working as an OT in a client’s home; she was amazed at the learning atmosphere and opportunities within the home. Now as an OT homeschooling her own family, she noticed that parents, though experts on their own children, were invariably asking the same questions and needed resources. As a result, HomeschoolOT was established. Sarah now provides classes, consultations, and community to homeschool families to help children thrive in the activities they specifically need and want to do. You can find Sarah online at www.homeschoolot.com on Instagram at www.instagram.com/homeschoolOT and in the Facebook group she moderates at www.facebook.com/groups/homeschooltherapyideas.com

Farris was the Founding President of Patrick Henry College. He is currently Chancellor Emeritus for PHC. For seventeen years, he taught Constitutional Law, Public International Law, and coached the school’s moot court team.

Michael Farris graduated from Western Washington State College with an honors degree in Political Science in 1973. He earned his J.D. from Gonzaga University School of Law in 1976 with honors. He was also an honors graduate from the University of London with an LL.M. in public international law.

He has used his international law degree primarily to lead efforts to successfully block the ratification of UN treaties which would have the effect of transferring jurisdiction of domestic issues from the states to the federal government which in turn would be under the supervision of the UN. He has successfully argued that Americans should make the law for America.

Michael Farris is also an ordained Baptist minister and currently serves as an elder for his church, Cornerstone Chapel, in Leesburg, Virginia. He and his wife, Vickie, have ten children, thirty-one grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

Cheri Kay Sessions

Bio:

Cheri Kay was an Educational Consultant for HSLDA from 2022 to 2024. She has 15+ years' experience as a pediatric physical therapist, special needs advocate, and homeschooling mom. Cheri Kay's four amazing children were all adopted internationally and have a variety of unique needs. She received her bachelor's from Michigan State University in Athletic Training, a master's degree from the University of Rhode Island in Physical Therapy, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California with an emphasis on pediatrics.
Along with her training as a physical therapist, she trained to provide trauma-informed care and is fluent in American Sign Language. She has experience navigating the school system, the community mental health system, and the health care system both as a parent and a professional. With her unique understanding of how these systems work, she is equipped to advocate for families that also need to access these services.
Cheri Kay enjoys traveling and has spent three years living overseas in the beautiful country of Haiti, serving the Haitian people through various medical and therapy clinics. Along with parenting the children who have stolen her heart, Cheri Kay’s passion is to come alongside other families with resources and encouragement and help them soar into their own success!
