I became involved with SDP when my daughter with Down syndrome was chosen in the intial lottery for SDP. I have been working as an Independent Facilitator for others for the past three years. I strongly believe SDP is life changing for individuals with developmental disabilities. I love assisting individuals to transition from traditional services to SDP so they can live the life they choose! I am a life-long special educator, having worked in the public school system for 35 years as a teacher and administrator. My areas of passion include inclusion, transition, employment, and supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities.
