Troy has worked with individuals with disabilities for over 15 years and began teaching special education at the age of nineteen in Austin, Texas.\u00a0 To continue his advocacy for individuals with disabilities, specifically individuals with autism and behavior disorders, Troy earned his Master\u2019s in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) through Texas State University.\u00a0 In addition to teaching in the public school system, Troy has supported Special Education initiatives in multiple school districts (both urban and suburban in TX, GA, and now MD) as a Behavior Analyst, Autism Supervisor, and Assistant Director of Special Education. These positions have allowed Troy to partner with district and school leaders to create systemic initiatives to deploy evidence-based practices in the areas of behavior, mental health, and academics. This has resulted in narrowing achievement gaps, increasing graduation rates, and addressing the disproportionate representation of marginalized groups in special education.
