About Michela Laverty
Dedicated special education teacher and founder of Oly Able Special Education Solutions, where I deliver the professional development educators crave and schools urgently need. With a passion for inclusive practices, teacher retention, and student engagement, I equip educators with practical strategies to help them thrive while minimizing burnout. Committed to being part of the solution, I have spent my career transforming special education programs and shifting the mindset of education stakeholders. I have led the implementation of inclusive practices in self-contained programs, kick-started whole-school inclusion initiatives, and continue to challenge outdated approaches to special education services.I firmly believe that leading and supporting special education programs doesn’t have to feel like rocket science—and i\'m on a mission to prove it.
