To our heroes in special education, we have only one thing to say: THANK YOU. 💛
Thank you to the special education teachers who adapt lessons for every learner. To the speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, school psychologists, and mental health professionals who give students the tools to communicate, grow, and thrive. To the paraprofessionals and specialists who show up with patience, creativity, and care every single day.
To the administrators, case managers, and service coordinators who make sure every plan, service, and goal stays on track.
Rebecca Lehtinen (Executive Director of Educational Technology in NC), Lauren Gemmill (District Superintendent Capital Region BOCES in NY), Kimberley James (Superintendent TX), Kibbey Crumbley (Area Superintendent Fulton County Schools in GA), Susan Enfield- (Executive Director for the Center for Educational Leadership University of Washington and Advisory Board member), Angélica Infante-Green (Commissioner of the Rhode Island Department of Education and Women Leading Ed Board member), Erin Senkowski (Superintendent Saginaw Intermediate School District MI), Robyn Derington (former Superintendent Yantis ISD TX), Jessica Garza (Director of Middle Schools Denver Public Schools in CO), and Quincy Boyd (Chief of Staff Prince George’s County Public Schools in MD), perfectly capture our deep gratitude for our special education professionals.
Your impact doesn’t go unnoticed. 🙏
