Andrea Suk

Dr. Andrea Suk coordinated the Education Committee’s December 2020 webinar survey. She is an assistant professor of inclusion at Salisbury University in Maryland and has been a PATH Intl. certified instructor since 2007. Andrea has been a high school special education teacher in Illinois, Arizona, and Texas. In that capacity, she received distinct recognition for her leadership as the ACE (Architecture, Construction and Engineering mentor group for high school students) mentor of the year in Phoenix, the Wal-mart Teacher of the Year (Glendale, Arizona), and is a Target Grant Field Trip recipient for bringing her students to a PATH Intl. premier accredited ranch to learn about and participate in Equine Assisted Services. In her doctoral studies work, Andrea conducted a single-case, multiple-baseline design, research study to identify if teaching individuals with disabilities to self-monitor their own riding goals, within the Equine Assisted Services environment, had an effect on attainment of their goals. Pictured is Andrea and Hank, the horse that she credits for connecting her love of horses and supporting individuals with disabilities (Central Illinois Riding Therapy).
