Most of my students have cognitive disabilities. Some have additional issues such as Tourette's syndrome, autism, and additional impairments. I also work with students who are visually impaired in the district.
Position:
CD/TVI teacher
My Philosophy:
I expect my students to make a good effort trying to do something before asking for help. They are required to use good manners at all times.
