I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Special Education. I earned my Master of Education degree in Special Education from VCU.

I have taught elementary special education for over 6 years. I have worked with all grade levels, but mostly 1st-5th!

I am also Orton Gillingham trained in Multisensory Structured Literacy instruction, which is designed to help struggling readers and those with learning disabilities by explicitly teaching the connections between letters and sounds. I have taught structured literacy groups for all grade levels, and I LOVE it. It is research-based and has proven to be highly effective in helping students with dyslexia. I utilize a variety of strategies to build phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension.

I have worked with diverse groups of students, including students with learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Emotional Disabilities. My experience with both special education and general education students requires me to be knowledgeable of the curriculum and flexible with teaching strategies. I value the bonds I create with each student, and I believe that building positive relationships with each student is essential for their growth. Being able to witness a struggling reader gain confidence and grow academically is truly the best gift!

I value communication and relationships with the parents as well. I am always open to questions or feedback. Please contact me with any questions!

Elementary (K-6th)

I have worked as a Special Education teacher in an elementary school collaborative setting for 6 years. All of my students have been in the general education setting and receive services in Reading, Math, Study Skills, Social Skills, Writing, etc. I have collaborated with the general education teachers to provide specialized instruction on a variety of subjects. I am familiar with the general and special education curriculums, and frequently differentiated the lessons to work for all students. I have taught students in 1st-5th grades using SOL standards in VA, as well as structured literacy for reading and phonemic awareness deficits.

ADHD,

ADHD

I have worked as a Special Education teacher for 6 years. Many of my students had IEPs due to ADHD, which impacted their academics, study skills, impulse control, social skills, etc. I have a lot of experience differentiating instruction based on the needs of each individual student, and incorporate all learning styles into my teaching. Using movement is also a crucial aspect for learning. My experience with both special education and general education students requires me to be flexible, and to keep students engaged to enhance comprehension.
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD),

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

I have worked as a Special Education teacher for 6 years. Many of my students have Autism. I am responsible for providing all accommodations (visual schedules, sensory tools, noise cancelling headphones, communication boards, etc.), as well as specialized instruction to meet their individual needs - whether it's academic, social, or emotional. I specialize in teaching Social Skills groups, often with a focus on self-regulation, appropriate peer interactions, conflict resolution/ problem-solving, and coping strategies. I enjoy using the Zones of Regulation to assist in teaching these concepts, and teaching calming techniques such as breathing techniques, body scans, and choice boards. Teaching students on the Spectrum is a passion of mine!
