About Dakota

Hello! My name is Dakota. I moved to New York this year from California, where I worked with children of varying ages in schools, camps, after school programs, and at home. My professional experience includes working with children and young adults with disabilities and varying support needs. This experience includes working on emotional regulation, skill acquisition, building confidence, and working with families to create daily routines and set attainable goals. In addition to my hands on experience with children and young adults, I also have a masters degree in Special Education. Outside of my professional and educational credentials, I am a musician and lover of the arts. I always enjoy meeting kids where they're at and incorporating play and arts into their experience learning about the world
