She will be providing speech language services to our elementary students at Roebling Elementary School. She has a great experience in both school based and private speech therepy and we are exicted to have her join our team!

We are excited to invite you to become a part of our district’s Special Education Parent Advisory Group (SEPAG)—a collaborative partnership between parents and school district leaders.

What is SEPAG?
SEPAG is a state-mandated advisory group designed to give parents of students with disabilities a voice in shaping special education programs and services in our schools. It is not a support group, but rather a forum where parents and district administrators work together to:

• Identify and discuss strengths and areas of need within special education.

• Provide input on policies, programs, and practices that impact students with disabilities.

• Foster communication and collaboration between families and the district.

• Share resources, ideas, and strategies that support student success.

Why Join SEPAG?
Your perspective as a parent is invaluable. By joining SEPAG, you become a parent leader and advocate, ensuring that the voices of families are represented in district decision-making. SEPAG helps to:

• Build stronger connections between home and school.

• Promote understanding of special education laws, services, and supports.

• Ensure that every child has access to meaningful educational opportunities.

Who Should Participate?
All parents and guardians of students with disabilities are welcome. Whether your child receives an IEP or 504 Plan, your experiences and insights can make a difference.

How to Get Involved
Join us at our opening SEPAG meeting to learn more:

The first meeting will be virtual and families that RSVP will be sent a meeting link prior to the meeting.

What inspired you to work in special education? My mom was a speech and language pathologist and I used to go with her to take your child to work day. I knew then I wanted to work with children with special needs, but also know I didn't want to necessarily do speech and language therapy. As I grew older, I became very into psychology and how the brain works. It was suggested I look into the area of school psychology. I am so happy I chose this profession as I love working with students, parents, and staff to help ensure student success.

What are you most excited about for next school year? Getting to know the new students and watching our older students grow and progress in school.

What’s one fun fact about you? I have my own two boys at home. We love watching basketball on television as well as playing basketball outside whenever we get the chance.
