I am a licensed SPED teacher with a PK-12 endorsement. I really enjoy working with "tricky" children who may need a little extra support with behavior. I tend to focus on social and emotional growth as key part of my job and helping children navigate their world and self awareness. I firmly believer in using positive behavior supports and only use negative reinforcement or punishments when seems absolutely necessary. I believe every behavior of a child has a need and we can figure out what your child's behavior means together and teach a more appropriate way to meet their needs. I can tutor in math and reading using a variety of different strategies that are tailored to your kiddo! I have experience with a variety of non neurotypical children ranging from learning disabilities, autism, the sensory seeking child, emotionally disturbed, Down's syndrome, cerebral palsy, and several more. I have worked with children ages 0-16 and both severe and mild situations.
