Stacey Atiyeh is the solution marketing manager for N2Y. N2Y is a special education curriculum company and Stacey will get into more details in the show, but as a former special education teacher I had a fantastic experience with N2Y. They have truly built solutions to meet the educational, classroom, and life skill needs of students with the most significant needs and It was truly a blessing to my classroom when I taught.
