It has been my pleasure to work with the students, parents and educators of Tri-County Special Education Association since 1993. I've held the position of Executive Director since 2000 and was the Assistant Director before then.
My background is as a special education teacher. As an administrator, my primary interest is watching people become excited about learning and doing new things. For that reason, I now enjoy organizing professional development activities and implementing collaborative solutions to tough problems. I also enjoy maintaining a comprehensive set of programs and services that benefit students.
Special education is about supporting learners who have disabilities, but non-disabled students may also experience difficulties in school. Because it is important for Tri-County to help districts support the unique needs of all students, I encourage the flexible use of most services. This gives all learners access to early intervention support. Consistent with that thinking, I've actively supported the use of intervention assistance teams, social skills instruction, behavioral consultation and assistive technology in local schools. I'm pleased with all that is accomplished for children in Tri-County schools because of the many efforts of professionals and family members. |
