My name is Grace Ilori, a doctoral student at the University of Denver. I have undergraduate and graduate degrees in Special Education from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. I have always had a passion for working with persons with disabilities however, my passion for working with children with disabilities developed after I started my graduate program at the University of Denver. My areas of interest are early childhood special education assessment and curriculum methods, family partnerships, and guidance to support quality inclusive early childhood environments.
I am the founder of Joy to the World Special Needs Initiative -a nonprofit working to achieve a society where persons with disabilities can live purposeful lives.
