Always Adaptable

I teach in a Developmental Learning Program (DLP), supporting students with a wide range of needs and abilities. Many of my students have limited verbal communication skills and/or cognitive differences, and they benefit from the use of adapted materials and AAC/picture-supported communication to enhance both comprehension and expression. I work with students in grades K–5, providing instruction across a broad range of skill levels—from foundational life skills and errorless learning to early literacy, reading comprehension, and foundational math skills such as addition and subtraction. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong focus on adapting curriculum to meet the unique needs of my students, which has led to meaningful growth and increased engagement in learning. In addition to my work in the classroom, I lead the disability ministry program at my local church. In this role, I create curriculum, plan lessons, and ensure that children with disabilities are able to access the gospel and participate in church activities in meaningful and inclusive ways. I also share these resources on TPT and strive to keep them affordable and accessible for others serving similar communities. I am passionate about creating practical, accessible resources that support diverse learners across settings. My goal is to provide materials that are easy to implement and effective in real-world environments. I truly believe that with the right supports and accommodations, all students are capable of learning and demonstrating their knowledge.
