Healing While Helping Others S4E34
Shelley Kenow is a Special Education Consultant, licensed Special Education Teacher, best-selling Author, podcast host, Master IEP Coach®, national and international speaker, and entrepreneur. She has been in the field of special education for over 30 years. She has written hundreds, if not thousands, of Individualized Education Programs (IEP), and led as many or more IEP meetings. She has trained thousands of teachers, parents, therapists, administrators, probation and court services members, financial leaders, and mental health providers on Leveling Up the IEP, Understanding Behaviors, and truly collaborating as an IEP team member with everyone at the table.
Shelley believes we know who we are, but not who we will be. With that in mind, she believes it is crucial for educators, employers, and family members to have a positive outlook for disabled people and to focus on their abilities rather than their disabilities.
Her book, Those Who “Can’t…” Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion, and Empathy was derived from interviews with an individual or the loved one of an individual with a disability.
By looking through a different lens, the book challenges you to reflect on your thoughts about, and behaviors toward, individuals with disabilities. It will open your eyes to all the hidden struggles and possibilities children and their families encounter.
On #nolimits, Shelley chats with people society has placed limits upon but who have busted through those limits. In the over 185 episodes to date, Shelley has had her own limiting thoughts challenged, been inspired by her guests, and has learned of even more amazing ideas to support those with disabilities.
Shelley has been on the Board of Directors for Chakota Therapeutic Riding Center and Early Head Start. Shelley is currently serving on the Clinton County 708 Mental Health Board, Moore Than Behavior and Dotterer Education Advisory Boards, Birth To Five Illinois Region 13 Action Council, and is the Regional Director for Region 5 for the Illinois Council for Exceptional Children.
