Dr. Lauren Delisio, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Special Education at Rider University
Dr. Lauren Delisio is an educator, scholar, and advocate with over 20 years of experience supporting students with diverse learning, behavioral, and communication needs. She holds a PhD in Special Education and has dedicated her career to helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally through thoughtful, individualized, and research-informed practice.
Trusted. Compassionate. Transformative.
“Her enthusiasm, passion, and love for this career definitely touch every student who walks through her classroom doors.“
-Savana, Former Student
Saying Dr. Delisio has positively impacted me personally and professionally is an understatement. While I met Dr. Delisio my senior year of high school, her support is still pivotal in my success. As a student in multiple of Dr. Delisio’s undergraduate and graduate classes, she always met me where I was to help me get to where I am now. She was also a champion in my personal life, standing by me through some of my toughest battles. What makes her unique is she genuinely cares about those she serves. As a special education teacher, I use what I learned from her every day.
– Sibel, Former Student
Dr. Delisio has played a pivotal role in shaping my academic and professional journey. As my instructor during my bachelor’s program in Elementary Education and Special Education at Rider University, she inspired me to pursue both my master’s degree in Special Education and ultimately my doctorate, building on the foundations of Universal Design for Learning. Professor Delisio leads with compassion, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to inclusive education. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and wholeheartedly recommend her without reservation.
-Rose, Former Student
I had the pleasure of having Dr. Delisio as my professor at Rider University. She was one of my favorite professors who taught me invaluable skills and lessons pertaining to Education and Special Education. Her passion for teaching and helping students with disabilities helped me become the dedicated Special Education Teacher that I am today. Without her knowledge, I would not have been fully prepared to transition into my teaching career like I did with her guidance. Having a professor with her expertise and diverse experience allowed me to learn more than what was required in the general curriculum.
