Patricia Dodds

I have been a Learning Specialist at the Richmond Middle for the past 27 years. I have made it my life's work to create a school where learning differences are not only recognized by students with IEPs, but are part of the culture of our school. Staff and students understand that we all learn differently. I have worked to incorporate the principles of Universal Design for Learning into the fabric of our teaching.

I am a native of New Hampshire and attended the University of New Hampshire (B.A. in English) and graduate school at Plymouth State University (M.A. in Special Education) and Harvard University (UDL).
When I'm not at school, I travel often to Houston, TX and Franklin, MA, to spend time with my six wonderful grandchildren.
