Reaching children with learning differences is so critical to their entire life span development.  We need to recognize those who go the extra mile to make sure that these children have the opportunity to learn in the most effective way possible.  These leaders are in a position to implement training and programs so that the people who are directly teaching these special and very important children have effective tools and strategies to reach them more effectively.

Do you know someone who is worthy of this award? 

Maybe a curriculum director, a principal, a special education director, a superintendent, a program specialist?  If so, please nominate them – using this form.
