Hello,
I am so happy you are visiting the Early Childhood Insights blog! I want to tell you a bit about myself—I’m a mother to two grown boys and a grandma. I have taught second grade and worked as a special education advocate helping families. I enjoy helping families navigate their children’s educational journey. I have personally experienced the journey of special education with my son. I now know that I could have done more to help him earlier if I had known more. My passion is introducing families to topics early on and prompting them to ask questions of those working with their child. I encourage and support them to become informed parents. Information is power, and you are your child’s best advocate. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
