About Inclusive Insights
Inclusive Insight's vision
Our vision is to support parents and students through all the processes of special education, while advocating for the best services for each individual student. In addition to advocating for services, we also offer parent coaching to help create the best possible environment to aid in the development and progress of students, extending from the home into the classroom.
About Me: I have been working in the education field as a special education teacher for the past 7 years. Before that, I worked as a paraprofessional in the classroom. Early on in my career, I worked with at-risk students in downtown Chicago. I am honored to have recently won the 2024 Lake County Diverse Learner Educator of the Year Award.
