About
Hi! I am Melissa Yeo. I have been a special education teacher since 2011. I have years of experience working in and out of the classroom with teachers, administrators, specialists, service providers, and therapists. My passion for helping schools and teachers understand how to design instruction so that ALL children can access their education based upon their unique needs has been a major focus throughout my career.
​
After stepping out of the classroom in 2021 to care for my young children, I found myself missing being able to advocate for children in schools. Thus, Guide & Grow was born to be able to support families through the intricate IEP process.
