My name is Deena. I am a special education teacher with a passion for teaching young children (from six months of age to school entry) with mild, moderate or severe cognitive, emotional, sensory or/and physical disabilities. I have studied the area of special education in different cultures, and I continue to explore the most effective pedagogical approaches in the modern world. I love my work and I am so excited to share what I know with others!
