I'm an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher who works through the school district. My caseload is full of children with developmental delays, medical diagnosis' that lead to developmental delays, or are at high risk for developmental delays. I work with children birth-3 years old and their families in their homes.

Things are a bit foggy right now. Schools were closed last week and this week to give teachers time to prepare for distance learning. But since I'm working with special education, things are more complicated and details haven't been worked out yet on things like due process paperwork, types of service, new referrals, etc. I know that I'll continue to work, even if my state calls for shelter in place...I just don't really know how exactly that will look.

I'm thankful to still have a job and a paycheck. But all this confusion is really increasing my mental health issues. I just want the best for my students and their families.
