Today I was fortunate to run into a colleague whom I worked with years ago, Maureen Costello Dupree. She and I did collaborative teaching before anyone thought that might be a good idea. She became interested in the Understanding Disabilities program immediately and together we started this section of It's OK to be Different at NutSwamp School in Middletown. I am thrilled to know that after so many years (at least 30), Maureen is still actively presenting the program to students and parents in her 2nd grade classes.
Maureen has always been interested in promoting respect and understanding for people with disabilities. Her passion for teaching is what I always and still admre. Thanks, Maureen, for not giving up! I look forward to ideas and experiences coming from your classroom.
