Growing up I learned the value of patience and helping others. My mother was a special education teacher, my brother was autistic, and my grandmother was blind. I also learned that it can be difficult at times living with people special needs especially when you lack the resources or assistance that you may need from time to time. I am offering my services because growing up in a household with two family members with special needs I understand the value of having help when you need it. I have over 20 years of experience working with multiple teenage populations as a high school teacher. I have worked in an alternative school for over 15 years with at-risk students. I have worked as a behavioral analyst and I have a masters degree and in counseling. I can help with Behavior - Positive Behavioral Support and Behavior - Applied Behavior Analysis and tutoring.
