Hi! My name is Mandy Dean, Your Special Education Guru
I am a Special Education Advocate
I am driven by my deep passion for serving others. I use my personal experiences of overcoming barriers to success to help others do the same. My highly empathic approach allows me to connect with families of students with disabilities and guide them through the special education process. My empathic nature is evident when working with both families and school personnel to overcome the barriers to success that students with disabilities encounter on a daily basis. I love to serve!
