Education
How does special education work without the comprehensive team that informs so much of the process? In this episode, Venus talks with Michelle Dunn (Adaptive PE Specialist), Niels Pasternak (Autism Consultant), and Brittany Herson (Occupational Therapist). Michelle, Niels, and Brittany talk about the work they do and how each role contributes to a more robust and student-focused special education program.
They share how each of their specialized lenses contributes to a more comprehensive special education program. They also explain how understanding the difference between consultation and direct service is an important component of effective implementation of an IEP.
This week’s guests describe how they also help general education students and those supported with a 504 plan. Like most educators, their roles are also impacted by high staff turnover. They reassure us, however, that collaboration and a positive perspective can help address many problems. Despite juggling a high number of students on their caseload, they manage to prioritize supporting the individual needs of students. Listen in to grow!
