Educating Felicity & Friends
"Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:4
Marianne Young
I have 17 years of experience as a special education teacher. My goal is to share my experience with others and help families and educators of children with Down syndrome and other developmental delays. I taught at a private school for children with autism in New York for 4 years and a public school in Connecticut for 7 years. I was blessed with the opportunity to home-school Felicity, my niece with Down syndrome, and her 7 older siblings for 3 years. However, there are times I discover that I am the student. It is amazing what I learn from Felicity, from my other students, and from my 29 nieces and nephews. They teach me what is truly important in life.
