Navigating Special Education and Establishing Equity in Education with Dr Diana Fannon

The U.S. Department of Education allocates funds to states, which then distribute the money to local school districts. These districts must justify their actions to state authorities to receive funding. This funding impacts resources and training for special education teachers. Last year, 70% of public schools reported vacancies in this area, with half of the teachers leaving within five years, according to PBS NewsHour. Dr. Diana Fannon, an educator and advocate with over 23 years of experience in special education, has a background as a bilingual school psychologist and special education director. She has attended thousands of IEP meetings and helped many families understand special education. Diagnosed with epilepsy at 17 and raising a child with autism, she knows the challenges firsthand. Through DisabilityEdPros, Dr. Fannon provides parents with the tools to navigate special education and advocate for their children. She is dedicated to ensuring every child has access to necessary education and resources. For more information: https://www.disabilityedpros.com/ Follow: @disabilityedpros
