NICK COLETTI
Founder and Advocate
Greenwich Special Education Advocates (GSEA) was founded by Nick Coletti, who has worked in education for nearly two decades. Nick holds a Master's Degree in Special Education and has served as a paraprofessional, Special Education Teacher, and Autism Consulting Teacher.
Nick grew up in Greenwich, attending local schools and later earned his bachelor's in Sociology from the University of Connecticut and his Master's in Special Education from Fairfield University.
He began his career in 2007 as a paraprofessional in the Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) extended School Year program, building strong relationships with many educators and a love for teaching. After working at Hamilton Avenue and Western Middle Schools, he moved to Hawaii in 2016 to teach special education and work as an Autism Consulting Teacher, overseeing services for over 35 students across 8 different schools, ranging from pre-K to high school.
Nick returned to Greenwich in the fall of 2020 as a Special Education Teacher at Central Middle School, where he played a key role in supporting and educating students.
In 2023, Nick transitioned to independent advocacy, using his experience teaching, writing IEPs, conducting educational evaluations, and leading educational teams to help families ensure their children receive the best possible education.
