About Sheila MacLellan
Sheila MacLellan Nelson began her teaching career in Marquette, Michigan at the approximate time that programs for mentally handicapped were emerging from “church basements” and first appearing in public schools. She came to Michigan State University in 1964 for graduate studies and worked for the Lansing Public Schools. She received her M.A. in Special Education from Michigan State University in 1966. She worked in Oswego County, in Elementary, Junior and Senior High School Special Education classes introducing the concept of mainstreaming long before state mandates. She retained her strong interest in teaching students with learning disabilities after retiring in 1992 following 31 years of teaching.
