She was instrumental in training and working with teachers as a team member to develop I.E.P’s in its initial setup. In her educational beginnings she worked at Cecil Facer Youth Center where she discovered that there was a strong need to help youth with literacy skills. She was astounded by the high number of students with Learning Disabilities who could not read or write in grades 9, 10 & 11. She offered to develop a Reading and Writing Program with the help of a young Cree girl who barely spoke English. Gloria was able to develop a program customized to the specific needs of the students and the little Cree girl learned to read. She also completed her thesis for her Special Education Specialist, The Academic Remediation In Acquired Brain Injury. In 2004, as a Chairperson and a Team Leader with a dedicated and persistent team, they launched the Learning Disabilities Association of Sudbury. Gloria continues to improve literacy skills by developing ongoing programs and projects that will help students achieve their goals. Through her career she has developed a summer Reading and Writing program, an in-school after-school program, and Educational Remediation and Consultation Services. As a team member she shares her knowledge with Educational Assistants and Teachers on learning disabilities, ABI and Assistive Technologies and trains young learning teachers on learning strategies and learning styles. With her dedicated team, Gloria’s future objectives are to continue teaching students in need and work with parents and professionals to ensure that youth, adolescents and adults are given the opportunity to learn using their own learning styles and abilities.
