Lisa has devoted her life to teaching and working with children who have varying abilities and disabilities. After getting her BS in Special Education from Millersville University, she taught for 30 years with Lancaster Lebanon IU13. The students with whom she worked needed multiple supports-children with active minds and bodies that did not cooperate. Lisa worked with children needing life skill support. She described them as bosses while being taught how to read, write, improve social and life skills! Lisa also worked in Early Intervention, providing services and support for 3-5 year olds at home and community preschools. Here, she helped parents solve problems which impacted family life and had the opportunity to create community support for those in preschool.
