My students need many visual aids and becuase each student is on an individualized education plan, it is important that I can provide them with a variety of learning experiences.
Personal Information:
About Me:
I was in the band at USC, so I have a ton of school spirit and I love attending USC sporting events!
College and Degrees:
BA in Psychology at the University of Southern California.
Currentlyenrolled at National University for a Moderate/Severe Special Education Credential.
Activities:
Spending time with my two nieces.
Employment History:
I have worked with autistic children ages 3 to 9 years old in both the home, school and community environments for the last 7 years!
Why Do I Teach?:
Autism is a mysterious disorder. There are no clear answers about why it happens or what to do when it does happen. I only get a few hours a day to try to reach my little ones, and when I can make a connection it means the world to me. When my students can carry that connection home and their parents call me with such pride in their voices...there is nothing like that feeling!
