Greetings. I am a dependable experienced educator focused on helping special needs children. I have a combined 16 years as a primary level teacher and Special Education professional, specializing in Autism and developmental delays with similar symptoms. Participating in the emotional/social, adaptive, and academic growth of young children and helping families better understand their needs, is a blessing. I primarily work with children from birth to 5 years old but will consider working with older children on a case by case basis. I am also available as a Family Advocate to help families navigate the therapeutic and education systems. I grew up and worked as an educator in New York before relocating to Miami Beach six years ago. I'm currently certified and employed by the Miami Dade County Public School. Cheers!
