I have worked with special needs students for over 13 years and have a 19 year old son with Autism. I have been trained in Positive Behavior Management techniques, alternative communication methods and sensory integration. I have worked with students with disabilities ranging from mild to severe and many times on a 1 to 1 basis. After more than 10 years in the classroom I am now the Office Manager of a Necessary Small High School. I use positive reinforcement and believe building high self esteeem to be very important.
