Leanne Pritchett
Special Education Teacher/Advocate
Veteran Special Education Teacher/Advocate who has been diagnosed with Specific Learning Disabilities. School was tough physically, mentally, and emotionally. My teachers told my Mom at one point to continue with my modeling and not pursue any other educational aspirations. She didn’t listen. I was privately tutored until I graduated High School. I went to college, got my Masters in Special Education, with 2 teaching credentials. I excel at individualized lessons to suit my student’s learning needs. I also advocate for the sped community and have 2 podcasts of my own. I am a proud cat mom and I aim to be a light and shinning example to all my students and their families.
