Welcome to Special Education
Hello!   My name is Mrs. Emily Sandoval and I am the learning disabilities teacher at Belmont Elementary.   I can’t tell you how excited I am for this school year!   Belmont is a great school for all kids, including children with disabilities.

At Belmont, the achievement of ALL students is important.   In the learning disabilities program, your child will receive the unique support he or she needs in order to be the most successful.   Although students with learning disabilities face challenges because they learn differently than others, they also have many strengths to share.

My approach to teaching students with learning disabilities is to remediate weaknesses, capitalize on strengths, and hopefully, improve children’s self-esteem by helping them see just how much they are really capable of and how valuable they are in both the school and the world.  
 
Should you ever have any questions or concerns, I’d love to hear from you.   As parents, you know your children best, and any insight you could provide is welcome.   Thanks for being a partner in your child’s education and I look forward to working with you and your child!
Parents may send questions to Mrs. Sandoval's e-mail address.
