We welcome Sgt. Timothy Douthit back to C.E.S. after he spent a year on duty with the @US.NationalGuard at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Timothy has been with C.E.S. since January 2016 as an Instructional Aide in our Special Education’s Developmental Learning Center (DLC), providing meaningful and encouraging learning support to students between the ages of 12 and 18. While his job on duty is Military Police Officer, he says he spent his off-duty time instructing Jiu Jitsu and Combatives and leading daily physical fitness sessions for other U.S. military personnel at the base. C.E.S. Associate Executive Director Chris LaBelle, who served in the U.S. Army from 1984-2000, said C.E.S. is proud to have supported Timothy during his deployment. “His professionalism, commitment, and dedication to serving our country are the very same characteristics that make him an exceptional employee at C.E.S.,” LaBelle said. #cooperativeeducationalservices #CES #schools #specialeducation #specialneeds #specialneedseducation #cteducation #trumbull #bridgeport #fairfield #ctschools #autismawareness #autismspeaks #autismsupport #autismclassroom #veterans
