Gerry Nelms, a dedicated advocate within the school system for special needs students joins the Autism Awareness Alliance as our Special Education Advocacy Liaison and blog talk host. Gerry gives us insight into his work,
"While I was teaching, I taught the Special Needs students providing the accomodations and modifications personally, or working with a Special Education teacher working with several students in the classroom. I am now providing advocacy services for parents of Special Needs students. I am able to provide information to parents across the United States if they have any questions concerning IDEA, ADA, going to college, and other types of services that are available to special needs students."
