Diane Zambotti

Diane resides in Niagara Falls with her two boys. She attended Niagara County Community College where she completed internships in Special Education and Respite Care before earning an Associate Degree in Rehabilitation Services for the Developmentally Disabled. Diane was employed by the United Cerebral Palsy Association for five years as a Residential Aide. Once her sons were born, both with special needs, she worked to ensure that they received appropriate special education programming. Diane has volunteered as a parent member of the committees on special education in her home district. In 1998 she became a lay advocate to assist parents in obtaining the special education services to which their children are entitled. She has since assisted hundreds of parents.
