If you need tutoring, special ed support, or behavior support let me help you! I have a degree in Special Education and am certified SPED- pk-12 with experience 6 weeks+ - 18yrs. I've been working with children for 9 years starting in high school taking early childhood education classes, moving into working at Montessori schools, a special education teacher, and now a behavior specialist. Working with children is my passion and I specifically love working with children with behavior struggles and to work on curbing those behaviors! I've worked with SPD, ADHD, ASD, and other cognitive and learning disabilities. I heavily believe in using positive behavior supports for behavior and I tend to focus on social and emotional learning a great deal. If you have any questions please let me know and I can get you access to my references ASAP!

We are so very happy and appreciative of Nana. She has only worked with us for a few weeks now and we are seeing dramatic, positive changes and development in our boys. She gives me all the tools I need as a mom to understand my boys behaviors and help them through it. She gives us detailed explanation of behaviors, approaches to help them develop, proven research, and progress reports. It greatly helps me to see what activities are beneficial and in what way. It is very obvious that she is very educated and knows what she is doing as the results are just amazing. She works with the boys with all sorts of sensory activities and includes my husband and I, so we can all work as a team. We are so very happy to have found her.. An answer to MANY prayers!
