Business Description

Making people with disabilities feel important has been Verna's dream since she was a young child. As Verna was growing up, she went to work with her mother, Helen Anderson, who ran a family business for individuals with developmental disabilities. Verna grew up playing with her friends with disabilities, and eventually worked in her family's facilities, while attending college to be a special education teach. The love for individuals with developmental disabilities is engrained in Verna. Verna taught special education and worked in school administration for twenty years. As Assistant Principal at Carterville K-8, Verna fought for the education and rights of the students with disabilities.
