Barbara Lynch (room 114)

teacher Barbara Lynch room 114 I am a graduate of Notre Dame College with a k-12 intervention specialist degree. I started at CARES as a paraprofessional in the 2020-2021 school year. I was hired as an intervention specialist at CARES in the 2024-2025 school year.

When I am not at work I enjoy time with my family. We have a small farm where we raise horses, cows, chickens, turkeys, pigs, and we have one donkey!

My hobbies include riding horses and helping my kids achieve their goals with their own animals. We are very active in the lake county 4h program and I love watching my kids show their animals!

Allison Flach (room 115)

Allison Flach has been an Intervention Specialist at CARES since 2023. Allison teaches high school and has taught both a vocational classroom as well as an independent living classroom while at CARES. Allison originally got a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Mount Union College, but later added Intervention Specialist onto her teaching license. Allison says her favorite part of her job is seeing how much progress her students make over a school year. Outside of CARES, Allison enjoys spending time with her two sons, going to musicals and concerts, listening to audiobooks, and playing card games.

Courtney Fellows (room 116)

As a dedicated Special Education Teacher, I am passionate about creating inclusive, supportive learning environments where all students can thrive. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Education, a Special Education license, and Master of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis with an emphasis in autism. With this background, I strive to meet each student's unique needs while fostering independence, confidence, and growth. It is important to always celebrate the little moments! Outside of the classroom, I enjoy being outdoors, photography, traveling, and creating new memories.
