Anne Castro

Founder and Director

Hi, I am Anne Castro, Founder and Executive Director of Full Circle of Support.  I am excited to be a part of an organization that empowers exceptional learners and families.  You are not alone!  As a parent, I found myself navigating what often felt like unchartered territory when looking for support or services to meet the unique learning needs of each of my own children.  I understand the time and commitment that families have to take when their child encounters a barrier to learning and I am committed to partnering with families and students to help them break through those learning barriers and reach their dreams!

In addition to being a parent, I am a Certified Reading Specialist with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Masters’ and certification in Special Education and Special Reading.  I share a unique perspective and passion for supporting families and students as they navigate their own unique educational journey with our Full Circle of Support.

We are your partners for success!
