Greetings! My name is Deanna Sikkink. I have a BS in Business Administration and went to Bethel University for my Masters in Teaching Special Education K-12 for Learning Disabilities and Emotional/Behavioral Disabilities. I have been working at East Central K-6 E/BD since 2011. For over three decades I have worked and lived with children living with issues related to mental health and difficulty with social thinking. I love working with our youth no matter what age. I enjoy the ambiguity students bring to each day and the relationships built with them and with their families. It is such a joy to see a student's growth in social thinking awareness of how special they really
are, and to watch them grow with a desire to impact situations around them in a positive way.
I have been married to my
5th grade sweetheart for over 3 decades. We have been blessed with the opportunity to raise 7 busy children and have 7 grandchildren. Our family spends its time being active in our church, mission trips, vacationing, and working on the farm. When I grow up I would like to someday write children's books.
