Any way you look at it, life is hard - but there are solutions.
We all want to succeed. But, what is success? How do we define that for ourselves? Now, how do we define it for our children? Consider a child with special needs - the definition of "success" for that child will certainly be different than what you would use for yourself.
"Different" people face unique challenges.
For our children with exceptional needs, life is filled with barriers to overcome. There are cultural issues; physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges; social issues and simple ignorance.
Dr. Suzette Garay is an educator and consultant in special education. She can define success
for herself as a Deaf Latino woman who grew up in the foster care system and achieved her goals.
She travels nationwide, giving motivational presentations and workshops on these issues. There are
talents and possibilities locked within each individual. Dr. Garay endeavors to
inspire educators and parents to really look at each person in a new light, and
provide tools to enable and empower these individuals to achieve new levels of
accomplishment.
Life's challenges can be its gifts.
Dr. Garay's presentations are about deaf awareness, diversity, culture, and overcoming barriers in life. You can turn a weakness into a strength. Contact Dr. Garay to schedule a speaking event in your area.
