    Mrs. Yanik

    Mrs. Yanik is our amazing ESE Specialist! She came to Country Isles in 2002 as an intern and she knew she never wanted to leave! Since then, she has been an important part of the Country Isles Family, in fact before becoming our ESE Specialist, Mrs. Yanik was one of our Speech and Language Pathologists for many years.

    As ESE specialist, Mrs. Yanik is in charge of the placement of all students needing Exceptional Student Education. She works hard to coordinate all the meetings and staffing to ensure that each child's Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed and implemented properly. In addition, Mrs. Yanik acts as a resource to school personnel regarding ESE rules and regulations, compliance requirements, and the implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

    Mrs. Yanik graduated from the University of Central Florida and earned her master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University. When she is not busy at school, you’ll find Mrs. Yanik reading, traveling, working out, or going to the beach or movies.

    If you have any questions about Exceptional Student Education and/or programs for the Gifted, Mrs. Yanik can be reached at 754-323-5250.
