Description
Harris-Hillman serves Nashville area students aged 3-21 who have multiple disabilities in the severe/profound range and are medically fragile. Most of these students require a great deal of care in meeting their daily self-help needs. Nursing support is provided for the administration of medications, tube feedings, respiratory therapy, and emergency care. The staff is dedicated to providing a comprehensive program through individualized educational plans, various therapies, and related arts. The goal is to provide the students with means to communicate and control various aspects of their environment. A panel of teachers and administrators from Harris-Hillman will discuss various ways in which they seek to liberate the voices of multiply disabled students. Panel members will include Robbie Hampton (Principal), Jennifer May (Consulting Teacher), and Beth Patterson (Teacher of the Year)
