“Dr. Amy Pleet-Odle has an excellent background in the area of special education and instructional approaches to learning. She has a highly professional approach when working with administration and faculty. Her collaborative processes help engage learners and allow all participants to take away the major goals of the lesson/activity. The professional development she provides is not a one-time shot, but allows for a reflective on-going approach."

— Gene Montano, Supervisor of Instruction

“For over ten years, I had the distinct pleasure of working with Dr. Amy Pleet-Odle, who was an outstanding faculty member at Towson University. She is impressive in her ability to fully integrate the best special education ideas and accommodations into useful teaching methods for implementation in P-12 school settings. She works well with teachers, is well organized, has a great deal of energy for her students, and she teaches in a superb fashion."
