Meet Beth

Elizabeth Cottone, PhD

Over a 25-year career, Beth has worked as a special education teacher, tutor and administrator as well as a University of Virginia researcher. Today, Beth is an independent scholar, author, teacher and consultant.  She finds that the most relevant information comes from the students she has taught.

For stroke survivors

Next Stroke Support Meeting

Each month, Beth hosts a virtual Stroke Support Group meeting for fellow-survivors of stroke and other brain injuries. Online and free to attend, the meetings offer fellowship, peer sharing and speaking appearances by noted experts in neurology and related fields.

Beth Cottone knows whereof she speaks, whether she is speaking or writing about children and education. She can say about more things than most of her colleagues “been there, done that.”
