Child Development Specialist
Janel Astor is a child development specialist who conducts the in-home behavioral support program at

a child's recommended educational service plan directly with families in their home environment.
In addition to her position at the CDM, Janel works as a faculty in the Early Childhood Special Education
department at San Jose State University. There she teaches, as well as supervises and supports teaching
students fulfilling requirements for their master teaching credentials. Janel is also the director of
Children's Development Services at Abilities United (formerly known as CAR), where she has
practiced for the past 13 years. She manages a team of therapists and developmental specialists at Abilities United
that provide services for young children who have disabilities, medical complications or other risk factors
for developmental delay. Janel also runs the Milestones preschool, a fully inclusive preschool at Abilities United
that she designed, which serves children with and without special needs.
