Special Education & Mental Health
Supporting students and families through meaningful outcomes, inclusion, and strength-based services.
- Focus on Outcomes
- Inclusion
- Strength-Based IEPs
Students cannot learn if they are overwhelmed or unsupported. I support evidence-based, age-appropriate mental health practices that help students regulate emotions, stay engaged in school, and succeed academically. For me education is much more than grades it is also a healthy life.
Healthy students become successful students.
Students with disabilities have bright futures ahead of them, and they deserve a district that fully believes in their potential.
I will:
- Support meaningful integration of neurotypical and neurodivergent students
- Advocate strongly for paraeducators
- Support parents navigating the special education system
- Work to retain and recruit excellent special education teachers
Every child deserves opportunity.
