There are lots of worries, for any parent, when they send their child to a new teacher. These worries can be even more over whelming when you have a child with special needs. I have taken several Special Education courses, and I have experience with several types of disabilities. I will be your child's advocate while he/she is in my classroom, and I will take every measure I know of to make sure your child has the free public education he/she deserves. I will provide your child with every needed adaptation, accommodation, modification, and assistive technology needed, and I will be sure others who work with your child do the same.
I have included a list of websites that may be helpful in learning more about common disabilities, and the rights students have. I know that this is only a partial list, but if there is anything you would like me to include, please feel free to contact me for more information. If I cannot personally answer your question, I will find someone who can.
