My name is Marilyn L. Hartwell. My husband of 40 years and I
live in Southern IL. We have five biological children, six
grandchildren, and are foster parents. Five years ago my husband
retired from Proctor & Gamble and I, too, went into retirement
for several months. I soon realized that I had more to offer my
community. My foster son is 16 and has been diagnosed with ADHD,
bipolar disorder and oppositional defiance. All of our foster
children have had special needs. My backgound is in mental health.
When advocating for my foster son, JAMP Special Education offered
me the Parent Mentor position. I am also the Southern Region
Coordinator for Illinois Federation Of Families. I enjoy gardening,
decorating, reading and traveling. Helping others is my
passion.
Tri County Special Education has received grant funding from the
Illinois State Board of Education to fund this position.
