Chrissy Liptrot joins the team with ten years of Special Education classroom experience. She is a Westchester County native who started her career teaching tenth and eleventh grade English at the Churchill School, a K-12 private school for students with learning disabilities in New York City. Chrissy then transitioned to a Westchester County public school, where she taught sixth, seventh, and eighth grade Special Education across multiple subjects and disciplines. She has worked closely with students and their families to navigate the complex and often intimidating IEP and 504 process. Chrissy has been advocating for student accommodations and modifications throughout her tenure as an educator. As a teacher, she gained an understanding of the inner workings of the IEP and 504 process from the perspective of teachers and school administrations. Chrissy firmly believes that every student, no matter their skill level or ability, can succeed in the classroom, whether that classroom is a traditional or alternative setting. Every student deserves access to curricula and learning, and Chrissy is dedicated to helping families achieve that access.

Chrissy holds a Bachelor’s degree from American University and a Master’s degree from New York University. She also has her Special Education certificate from Manhattanville College.
