My name is Emily Larson. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology degree from American Public University. Currently, I am finishing my last couple of classes for my Master of Arts in Teaching Special Education through Liberty University. I am the mother of three children and live locally. I connect deeply with Special Education as the sibling of a wonderful young man with Down Syndrome. Watching my mother navigate the system and advocate for him left me with a deep desire to work in education. Every day I am at work is a gift and working with your child is not something I take lightly. This will be my third school year working within the district and I am lucky enough to be able to say I love what I do. I look forward to meeting you and working with your child. "A child with special needs will inspire you to be a special kind of person."
