S19: Special Education Behind the Scenes E2: Elissa McFarland-Intervention Specialist

This week, we had the opportunity to speak to Elissa McFarland, an intervention specialist for children with mild to moderate learning needs and Mother to two children. She loves her job. This school year will be her 13th year teaching. As a child, she received intervention services. In 3rd grade, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and later was diagnosed with ADHD. Having walked this path as a child has led her to her passion for helping students.

We discuss the school system, raising children who will need support from the public school system, and available services. We talk about her journey with special education services and their path to obtaining a diagnosis for their daughter. What she provides to her students and the families she works with.

Elissa has an amazing husband, Brandon, and their oldest, Aleena, is six and going into 1st grade. Their youngest daughter, Lexi, is four and starting preschool. Lexi is diagnosed with ASD, and the inspiration for my blog on Facebook is "Life with Lexi."
