As a special education teacher for 38 years, I have come across many situations. In our ever changing world, we need to make sure that we are appropriately meeting the needs to each and every student. This also includes making sure that special education students are identified properly and then given the services that meet their needs. I am passionate about my students and making sure their academic and social needs are met appropriately.
