Special Needs

Compassion and patience are the most important characteristics of anyone working with special needs students. As a substitute teacher for twenty years (1982-2003), I was placed in many classrooms for the handicapped. Bright Horizons is one of those special schools I was privileged to gain experience in. Sycamore High School was another. Indian Hill Middle School offered integrated classrooms for special needs students. I learned to look beyond the physical and focus on the spirit of a person, meeting that individual where he or she is.

Excellent!

The first session with Bonny was really good. She started working with my son on areas such as comprehension, vocabulary, and sentence construction at the first session itself. She seems to be very knowledgeable in teaching and we decide to continue with her.
