Joey Ellis has a mild form of cerebral palsy, which inspired him to pursue a degree in special education. He has 5 years of teaching experience in both CDC and resource settings. He joined STEP in July 2011, and he enjoys assisting families who have children with disabilities. He believes that if it were not for his parents standing up for his rights throughout his childhood, he would not be where he is today.
