About

Ryan

What was your path to becoming a provider?

I was an English teacher full time for the Department of Education until I had my son. In order to work part-time, I took a job as an adjunct instructor. Towards the middle of my teaching there, I started working closely with our Office of Students with Disabilities, as I had a few students who required accommodations and modifications. I became interested in the field and pursued my degree in School Psychology.

What would you say to someone who is very anxious about learning problems in school?

The challenges you are having mean that your teachers need to teach you differently, not that there is anything wrong with they way you learn best.

Why are you passionate about helping students with learning differences?

I have seen the difference a good teacher and a good educational plan can make in both the lives of my students and my own children.
