I have ten years of experience teaching elementary students with special needs. Most of my teaching experience has been with students with autism, cognitive disabilities, or emotional/behavioral disabilities. However, I also work with students with learning disabilities and other health impairments on a regular basis.
Most of my teaching is centered around the principals of applied behavior analysis and the TEACCH instructional method.

Finding ways to reach students with special needs and help them learn is my passion. I consistently seek to learn new ways to meet the needs of each individual learner I work with and am always willing to share what I have learned with others.
