The PACE program is a special education program for students with significant support needs. The PACE team is a transdisciplinary team, made up of a special education teacher, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, occupational therapy assistant, and paraprofessionals. The PACE team provides support for students in the general education classrooms, as well as providing specialized instruction outside the classroom. The PACE program is a part of the LPS special education continuum and is considered a center-based program.

I'm Cassidy Bell and am privileged to be part of the Runyon team as the Occupational Therapist. When not at Runyon, I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and snowshoeing, relaxing around the house with my family, photography, house projects, and have begun to explore the world of scrapbooking. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Human Development & Family Studies and my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy both from Colorado State University. First a CSU Ram, now a Runyon Ram!

Hi, my name is Nan Butler. I am the speech therapist for the Runyon PACE program, where I work part time. I have been at Runyon for five years and with Littleton Public Schools for nine years. I love to be outside hiking, camping, running, gardening or playing with my three kids. I received my Bachelor of the Arts from Biola University in California and my Master of the Arts from the University of Colorado in Communication Disorders.
