I am a retired elementary school teacher. I then spend several years as a Special Education Advocate. I spend the last 12 years of full time working career as the Special Education Supervisor for the local Head Start and Early Head Start Program. I have worked extensively with special needs children. At Head Start I was responsible for assisting teachers in our classrooms and assuring that their IEP's were followed.
