Hi, my name is Pam O'Brien and  I  teach reading to special education students at York High School using a multisensory reading program.  My love for special education began in High School where I taught Special Education students to swim and was inspired by their  determination to learn despite their physical disabilities.  Later, I went to earn a Bachelor's degree and Master's degree in Special Education and taught in Maryland.  After getting married and raising children, we moved to Williamsburg, Virginia where an opportunity to be trained in a reading program became available in York County Public Schools.  I was fortunate to receive this valuable training that has led to many special education students learning to read.  Some of my students have even developed a love for reading and are selecting books to read for pleasure making this the most rewarding aspect of my job!
