Despite legal mandates, family engagement in special education remains uneven, particularly across ethnoracial lines. Our study interviewed 25 special education professional mothers parenting children receiving part C and part B services. Findings underscore challenges faced by this group of mother-educators while advocating for their children.

Assistant Professor, University of Nevada, Reno

I am a former preschool and special Ed teacher. Currently I research and teach about family engagement in EI/ECSE examining aspects of race/ethnicity, language and disability. I’m interested in improving EI/ECSE systems and working collaboratively with others to do so.
