I would like to introduce myself as the new Director of Special Services at BCS.  I have been an educator for 20 years.  I hold a Teacher of the Handicapped certificate and have taught in a variety of instructional settings over my career.  In 2015, I earned a Master's in Reading and a Reading Specialist certificate to work as a district intervention coach. For the last five years, I served as a Supervisor of Special Services before transitioning to my position here in Berlin.

 

I know it can be an overwhelming challenge to learn that your child may have a disability.  I am passionate about providing both staff and students with the support they need to be successful in their educational careers.  The staff members who work in Berlin Borough and the Special Education Department are here because they are dedicated to serving children and giving back to the community. Please know that you are supported and that we are ready to assist.  

 

I look forward to working together to establish a solid foundation of support for the community and its children.

 

Respectfully,

Ashley Power
