Pat Davison
Title
Patricia ‘Pat’ Boyce Davison has worked in the field of special education for 47 years. Her experiences have been wide and varied, beginning with her recruitment in the spring of senior year in college to teach in Montreal Canada, the first year special education was mandated in the province of Quebec. She was given free reign by the school commission to design a program from scratch to meet the needs of inner city children of immigrants attending a particularly disadvantaged public school. She did this while beginning her Masters program at McGill University. Two years later, after the program was running smoothly, she returned to Massachusetts to teach in the Westwood Public Schools. She was appointed to Governor Michael Dukakis’ Task Force on Special Education charged with implementing Chapter 766. The result of that work led to the adoption of IDEA at the national level. After the birth of her first child she opened a private agency advocating for students whose needs were not being met in the public schools of Andover and North Andover. She accepted a position at North Shore Community College (Essex Agricultural &Technical College Branch) working under a grant to create academic support services for first generation students with preparation gaps and students with disabilities. When the grant ended and the program was working independently within the college mission, she left to welcome her second child, a son adopted from South Korea. During his preschool days medical and neurological challenges became apparent. Approaching advocacy from the viewpoint of parent was enlightening. The struggles she and her husband experienced throughout the duration of his schooling were epic and have given her an even greater empathy for others. During the early days of that journey, Bradford College offered her a part time position as a learning specialist in their nationally recognized College Learning Program (CLP). Within three years she was named Director of CLP, stepping briefly into the role of Director of Admissions. When Bradford College closed she was hired as interim Assistant Director of Academic Support at Phillips Academy. The following year she was named Director and formed a task force to design policies, protocols and procedures for implementing accommodations in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act, signed into law by President H W Bush, alumnus of Phillips Academy. Eighteen months later the committee unveiled the document and convened the Academic Deans of the Eleven Schools to share their work. It was unanimously adopted by the ‘like schools’. From then on Phillips was considered the flagship school in this arena. She remained at Phillips Academy for two decades and now serves as a consultant.
