Meet Lanya McKittrick, PhD

Author. Public Speaker. Trainer.
Special Education Researcher. Mom.

As a mom of three children with disabilities, I understand the overwhelming feelings of uncertainty, loneliness, and upheaval. For 25 years, I have been dedicated to supporting families of children with low-incidence disabilities through their unique journeys. I do this through direct support with families, sharing my story, training, public speaking, and giving families a voice through my special education research. ​​
