Presented by Dr. Kelly Henderson, Formed Families Forward, located in Fairfax, Virginia

A special educator by profession, Kelly is a former public school teacher of students with emotional and behavioral disorders, and has worked in national and federal special education policy and research settings. Kelly's family is formed in part through public foster care and adoption. Her children have a range of learning, behavioral, and cognitive disabilities for which they have received early intervention, special education, and related services. Kelly has trained adoptive, foster, and kinship families and agency personnel on special education-related needs of children and has provided information and supports to many individual families. Kelly also serves as part-time instructional faculty at George Mason University, training graduate students and special education teachers. Kelly believes that formed families must have information and advocacy tools to improve the delivery of appropriate services, and to increase the academic, social, and behavioral outcomes for children and youth with special needs.
