She also served on the Clear Lake Community School Board in Iowa for seven years before moving to Florida in 2014. Deb has four adult children and two granddaughters. Her son is now an adult with disabilities and is currently receiving services from the Howard Center in Sac City. She fully understands what it feels like to be a parent of a child with disabilities and has experienced all of the ups and downs that go along with that.
Deb Shelton Deb has been part of the Family & Educator Partnership since the mid-1990's which has given her many experiences with all ages, birth to 21. Her focus includes supporting educators and parents as they work together to meet the needs of the child/student. Having an adult son who has a disability gives her a unique perspective in problem-solving with the student's team about concerns, to resolve conflict, and in providing helpful resources and supports.
