What is special education?... Special education supports students with identified disabilities through specialized designed instruction to meet their unique learning needs while providing to them, the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. Special education is provided through the public education system, free of charge and includes related services a student may need to access their education program.
Special education is an " individual" approach to education and therefore, is tailored to meet the needs of each student. Within special education there is a variety of services that can be provided in different ways and in different settings. Special education professionals work with your child's strengths as well as their challenges to further their progress in school.

Hello everyone!
I am Mary Ann Granger and I am a Special Education Teacher here at Tatham Elementary School. This means I support students through specially designed instruction. I strive to provide students opportunities to reach their fullest potential! I completed my undergraduate degree from Westfield State University and I obtained my Master's Degree in Special Education from BayPath University in Longmeadow MA. I have worked at Tatham for 10 years supporting students in grades 1-5. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my family, walking, hiking, and visiting new places. I look forward to meeting and working with all my students and their families.
