Thinking of escaping from Big City Life? We've got ya covered!

If you're like me, your mind occasionally fantasizes about life sans traffic jams, not worrying about locking your doors, listening to owls and crickets at night instead of sirens and loud neighbors and just plum simplifying life! We can help to make that come true for you. If you are a Special Ed Professional, Speech, Occupational, Physical therapist, a School Psychologist, Sign Language Interpreter or any other expert in the field of Special Education, I'd like to invade your thoughts with some of the locations below and give you an alternative to the frantic environment that is "city life". Listed below are some of the school locales with populations under 10,000 that are looking to complete their employment rosters for the 2015-2016 school year with a contractor/travel professional. Give me a call at (770) 325-0234 or email me at millie.simpson@soliant.com if you'd like to hear more!

Rifle, CO

Population: approx 9200

When you'd rather be outdoors instead of reading by a cozy fire, you'll find opportunities for skiing, hiking, fishing and rock climbing. There's even an area called the Book Cliffs if you'd like to combine your interests. ;-}

Marlborough, CT

Population: approx 6500

Just 35 miles from the seaport city of New London-sailing, fishing, great seafood restaurants.

Demorest, GA

Population: approx 1500

Poised on the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, a hiker's dream spot! This is a sweet little college town with sports, theatre and museums for those rainy days.

Bridgton, ME

Population: approx 5400

Of course there's skiing and beautiful vistas and an easy weekend jaunt to Portland-lighthouses, seafood, sailing. It is also the home of the Birthwise Midwifery School.

Lillington, NC

Population: approx 3300

This is just 30 miles south of Raleigh, NC if you miss anything about big (really kind of medium-sized) cities. This is a sweet little southern town, with a picturesque town square and friendly people. Visit the Polar Plunge Yogurt Shop where they boast over 60 fresh toppings to add to your "healthy ice cream" treat!

Poteau, OK

Population: approx 8600

Just 30 miles south of Ft. Smith, AR. Think model towns for books/movies such as True Grit and Lonesome Dove. Crime stats are nearly non-existent and your momma would approve!
