Hello Scholarly Owls ,
I am the newest addition to DTPA SPED Program. I am currently attending Cal State University,San Bernardino working on my Master's degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Mild/Moderate disabilities. I have 1 fur baby (Diamond- she's a pitbull ) and 1 red ear slider (Shelly - a turtle).
Like most of you I'm a hands on and visual learner ! Let's have an AMAZING SCHOOL YEAR
P.S. I'm a huge Disney fan - Stitch from Lilo and Stitch is my favorite!!!!
Dr. Keith Belton
School Psychologist
As an educational psychologist, I strongly desire that every scholar holds a positive self image, independent of their deficits. How scholars think about or define themselves is critical to the development of a positive self-identity

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I remember, involve me and I learn"-Ben Franklin says it perfectly. I am a hands on learner and love to learn new things. When I am not learning new things with you, I am tending to my family and an array of animals.
