About Jeanine Fitzgerald:

Jeanine Fitzgerald began her career in the education field in the 1970s, after struggling with challenging behavior during her own elementary education. She spent a lot of time in the coat room due to her difficulty in connecting with school and the boredom she experienced. Despite not intentionally trying to be challenging, she found school to be unexciting and turned to moving around in the courtroom for stimulation. This experience led her to pursue a career in education, with a focus on understanding and supporting students with similar behavioral tendencies. Jeanine's personal struggles have shaped her passion for helping students who face similar challenges in the education system.
