Listen "Bonnie Jordan - The Rock For The Most Vulnerable"
Episode Synopsis
There's a remarkable place in Glen Ellyn known both affectionately and functionally as The Rock. Born out of Illinois law 50 years ago, to serve deafblind students — the Philip J. Rock Center and School has a brand-new home. In this episode of the Crisis Cast, The Rock's executive director Bonnie Jordan shares the compelling stories of the families and students who receive their life-changing services and education. You'll hear how the German measles epidemic of the mid-1960s drastically changed the lives of many Illinois families. Plus, Bonnie shares her path from spelling champ to passionate educator and what she believes we're missing in teaching all kids, especially those with special needs.
