Hi! I’m a certified Special Education teacher with 16 years of classroom experience helping students of all abilities feel successful and confident in school. I specialize in working with students who learn differently — including those with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and learning disabilities — and I bring a patient, creative, and flexible approach to every session.

I have a multifaceted approach to education and support, with a core strength in breaking down complex topics into manageable, step-by-step processes. I am adept at supporting executive functioning, organization, and study skills, and I use evidence-based strategies to teach reading, writing, and math. A key aspect of my work is building trust and motivation in students who feel discouraged or stuck. I believe in a personalized, judgment-free, and strengths-based learning environment, with the ultimate goal of helping each child grow not only academically but also in their confidence and independence. Whether a child needs assistance with schoolwork, specific IEP goals, or developing key foundational skills, I am eager to provide support and am available to discuss how I can help.

As a dedicated and highly experienced Special Education Teacher with 16 years in the classroom, I specialize in providing comprehensive academic and executive function support for students with ADHD and other learning differences. My extensive background includes developing and implementing individualized education programs (IEPs), crafting multi-sensory lessons, and fostering organizational and study skills in diverse learners from elementary through high school. I am adept at identifying unique learning styles and tailoring strategies to enhance focus, time management, planning, and task initiation. My approach emphasizes building self-advocacy, confidence, and effective coping mechanisms, empowering students to thrive academically and beyond. I've consistently helped students improve their academic performance, develop stronger executive functioning skills, and navigate the challenges of ADHD in a supportive and engaging environment. I collaborate closely with families to ensure a consistent and effective support system for each student's success.

My extensive background includes designing and implementing highly individualized programs for a diverse range of learners on the spectrum, from early childhood through high school. I utilize evidence-based strategies such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles, PECS, visual schedules, social stories, and sensory integration techniques to create supportive and structured learning environments. My expertise extends to enhancing communication skills (both verbal and non-verbal), promoting social interaction, developing adaptive behaviors, and building executive function skills tailored to the unique needs of each student with autism. I am passionate about empowering students to reach their full potential, advocating for their inclusion, and collaborating effectively with families to ensure holistic support.

I provide individualized coaching and teach practical strategies to help students improve their ability to prioritize tasks, break down assignments, manage their time effectively, stay organized with materials and notes, and complete work independently. My approach is highly tailored, focusing on building self-awareness, fostering self-advocacy, and equipping students with the tools and routines necessary to become more efficient, independent, and confident learners across all subjects.
