After sharing demonstration videos and articles about my strategies with the Division of Special Education Services and Supports at the Georgia DOE, they informed me that they were willing to forward my information to the Georgia Learning Resource System so that they could forward it to Georgia special education directors. Because I am still in the classroom, I really appreciate their help!
