In this first episode of a three-part series, we get an introduction Ms. Nicole, a preschool teacher in Bergen county who used to be a special education teacher and behaviorist. Ms. Nicole talks about her job as a parent trainer, someone who works closely with parents, teaching them how to be successful in a special education environment. She says her role as a parent trainer is her favorite part of her career. We also discuss Ms. Nicole’s shocking experiences teaching “COVID-babies” and the impact of lack of sufficient funding for the special education system. This is only the beginning of the stories Ms. Nicole will tell us in the next two episodes. Thank you, Ms. Nicole!
