Danielle, the teacher in the classroom and Nicole, one of the many paraprofessionals began to create materials needed in the classroom.

Teaching style
Discrete Trial Training (DTT) is a repetitive teaching approach often paired with visuals for teaching children with Autism and other Developmental Disabilities. The materials available through the Special Educator's Store can be used for all students, especially those that learn best through a visual and kinesthetic modality.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Nicole and Danielle have been sharing their materials with other teachers for several years, first as an established company (LLC) where we traveled to conferences promoting our products and now through TPT.
