I am a retired Special Educator with a focus on behavior who has worked in the field of Positive Behavior Support since 2002. I am particularly interested in PBS in the home and partnerships between school and home to support children and families. I am the Family Consultant for the Association for Positive Behavior Support.  I am also on the Board of Directors for Colorado's Parent Training and Information Center, PEAK Parent Center.  I also do dog rescue, particularly for puggles and have 2 puggles, a senior female and a male with a spinal cord injury who is being trained to be a therapy dog. He accompanies me to parent trainings in his cart and provides support for families with children with Special Needs.
