Meet the Greater Expectations Program Director

Hi! I am Beth Orth-Voegeli, the Program Director of Greater Expectations. I have worked with individuals with special needs for over 30 years. I am a certified Special Education teacher and have taught special education for 21 years.

On the home front, I am a busy mom of eight kids and two grandchildren. Six of my kids are grown and have homes of their own. The youngest two are still at home with me. Two of my children have autism. Matt has made the transition into adulthood and lives in a group home.  Tristen is still in school.  She has more significant needs: nonverbal and seizures.

As an educator and mother of individuals with special needs, I have a unique perspective that enables me to access theory and apply it to real life situations.

I am super excited to work directly with individuals. I enjoy teaching and am eager to build relationships, set goals, and achieve dreams!

"Gregory is showing a level of responsibility that is truly amazing. The program has given him tools to track his own schedule. He also has improved his hygiene by brushing his own teeth consistently for the first time in 19 years!!!!! We can’t thank Greater Expectations and Audrey and Andi enough."
