Visually Impaired Student Support

Mrs. Campbell

I am one of those rare natives of Colorado.  I am rooted in the Littleton Community, and I have four children who have attended or graduated from LPS schools.  I have my bachelors from the University of Northern Colorado in interdisciplinary liberal arts with an emphasis in fine arts, and I received my K-6 licensure. After a summer in therapeutic recreation, I shifted my education to obtain a license as a special education generalist. I also have a master of science in curriculum and instruction from Western Governors University, and I am enrolled at the University of Nebraska Lincoln for a master of arts in special education- visual impairments. 

In the classroom, I have served as a moderate-needs teacher, center-based teacher, special education building coordinator,  and department chair for over 10 years.  In addition to my classroom experience, I was the director of an adult day program for individuals who have complex communication and support needs. This experience has allowed me to have a unique perspective of a full life as well as a strong grasp of Medicaid systems.  When I decided to become a foster parent I shifted my teaching into flexible online environments in English as a second language, Orton Gillingham, math, and homebound education supports.

My experience as a parent through the IEP process allows me to support families from a different lens. My youngest child was diagnosed with a visual impairment when he was 3 months old, and we were fortunate to have a strong parent-focused education program through the Anchor Center. I am excited to begin a process of specialization as I study at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln for a master of arts in special education -visual impairments. I am excited to bridge my teaching experience and shared experience as a teacher of visually impaired students across LPS this year.
