Hi! My name is Damian and I am an Early Childhood Special Ed teacher with a Colorado Credential for Early Childhood Special Education and with over ten years teaching children with special needs for grades pre-k to 3rd grade and another two years of tutoring experience outside the classroom. I am a Navy veteran and have a Masters in Special Ed. I love working with children and seeing them learn, grow and develop their superpowers! I believe EVERY child has skills that just need the support and guidance of an amazing team; family, teachers and friends. I hope to get the opportunity to help your student achieve their potential and reach new academic heights!

Does your child need help with reading, math, science, or other academics? Maybe they need to learn their own super power and what they truly excel at? Having been in the classroom for years working with kids that learn differently, I love to help students discover how they best learn. Is it through auditory means, visual, kinesthetic or maybe all of the above? I pride myself on being able to connect with students, make learning fun and help students experience true growth! Does your child need help with social skills, daily adaptive living skills or social emotional skills? I'd love to help! Perhaps your student has an Individual Education Plan and you'd like to work on those goals at home? Again, my experience is a perfect fit! I hope to hear from you and I am ready willing and able to meet your student where they are at academically, or otherwise to include where our tutoring sessions are! Let's connect and chat!

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

Having worked with children with mild/moderate special needs for over a decade, I have worked with children with dyslexia, autism, ADHD and other challenges. My experience and use of a multi-model approach for working with these students has demonstrated countless times that ALL students can make marked gains in all subjects with the appropriate supports and differentiation of instruction. For students with ADHD and executive functioning issues, I am very familiar with different strategies to assist students in creating the mechanisms they need to be successful. I always endeavor to work with students on which strategies are most effective based on their preferences and what they need and is supported with data.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I have worked with children with autism since 2012 in various settings such as special early childhood classrooms for 2 year olds, self contained autism classes and mild/moderate settings in General Education classrooms and providing resource support for children needing in class support or pull out support. I am well versed in writing and supporting Individual Education Plans and have been recognized as a "Highly Qualified," and "Highly Effective," Special Ed teacher across all of those settings.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I have multiple credentials in Special Education for Early Childhood SPED, mild/moderate SPED and GenEd credentials and have been a classroom teacher in Special Ed environments for over a decade. My Masters in ECSE from GWU prepared me for working with children with a variety of needs and required supports. I have helped to differentiate curriculum, specific lessons and provide supports and accommodations at home and in the classroom.
