MEET THE TEAM
Dr. Chinonyelum Anyanwu
When a child is born with special needs, it could be an overwhelming experience for the family. My passion is facilitating options for individuals with special needs and their families to achieve desired outcomes. I support individuals with special needs, their families, and their guardians as they explore their maximum potential by providing skills that foster self-advocacy and independence skills. I also support equity, diversity, and inclusive practices in the learning environment.
Since we are all differently abled, there should be varied approaches to teaching and learning based on individual strengths. My expertise includes targeted effective student-centered differentiating, accommodating, and modifying individualized education plans.
My educational background includes a BA in Education, MA in Curriculum and Instruction, MA in Special Education, and Ph.D. in Advanced Human Behavior. My professional experience spans four decades in Texas public schools teaching General Education, English as a second language, Special Education, and working as a special education Evaluation Specialist.
