About your Covington Special Needs CPR - Campus Parent Ambassador, Theresa Attea

I have one son, currently a 6th grader at Covington Middle School. We have been a part of the Special Education system since he was in second grade. Throughout this time, we have been through all the same things that most of you have experienced- diagnosis, ARD’s, 504 modifications, IEP, inclusion, STAAR testing.

I know how difficult and challenging these things can be. It was always helpful for me to talk to other parents and caregivers about their experience and what they learned along the way. I am here to provide you with emotional support and information, along with the Covington Special Education department and your Parent Support Specialist, Gloria Franco.

I look forward to a great school year with you and your kids!
