Special Education Accountability Doctor
ABOUT
Hello! I am Dr. Bonnie Haecker
Special Education Accountability Doctor
I am an advocate for individuals with disabilities, as well as a consultant and trainer for students, parents, and schools. My goal is to help everyone better understand the complexities of special education and the crucial role that accountability plays in student progress. With over 30 years of experience in special education, I have gained extensive knowledge of state and federal special education and disability laws, and a clear understanding of how schools operate. Throughout my career, I have worked as a teacher, principal, special education director, consultant, and advocate. My unwavering commitment has always been to ensure that students with disabilities receive the services and supports they are entitled to under the law, while safeguarding their right to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE).
