Being the Advocate Kids Need

Guest: Mantha Camacho, Special Education Teacher, Plano ISD

Mantha Camacho, a special education teacher at Plano ISD with over two decades in the classroom, joins the show for a conversation that ranges from Disney ears to vibe coding. Mantha traces her winding path through early childhood, middle school SPED, an ed tech company, and back to the classroom, sharing stories of students who changed her forever. She opens up about growing up with a hearing impairment and hand deformity, and how that shaped her lifelong commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Mantha also talks about EdtechEars, her joyful approach to teacher training, and where she sees AI helping (and where it shouldn't go) in special education. Welcome back to Season 2 of The Stuff I Learned About Learning with this inspiring and energizing conversation!
