“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is. ‘What are you doing for others?’” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our Founder

Dr. Dorothea Gordon

“Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s quote sustains my purpose. “Life’s most persistent and urgent questions is, ‘What are you doing for others?’.

For 37 years, I have had the honor to impact and influence the lives of teachers, colleagues, parents; but, most importantly scholars. For 37 years, I have been blessed to serve and empower Special Education and general education teams, administrators, campus teams, parents, and community members locally, statewide, and nationally to shine the light on services for our most vulnerable populations.”
