Professional Development Workshops

I facilitate professional development (PD) workshops for educators in the general education and special education spaces alike. Through my workshops, faculty and staff learn about how to implement supports for students with disabilities, but more importantly, they learn why inclusion is so important. I educate the not-currently-disabled general public about life with a disability or impairment: because awareness is the first step to inclusion.
