About the store
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.

Teaching style
Every learner deserves access to a high-quality education that is individualized to meet their unique needs while also being engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable.
My teaching approach is rooted in a multi-sensory, hands-on framework, recognizing that students learn best when they can see, hear, touch, and actively participate in their learning. By incorporating visuals, movement, repetition, and interactive materials, I strive to create learning experiences that are accessible and effective for a wide range of learners.
I also strongly believe in the power of communication. All individuals deserve meaningful access to communication—whether through verbal language or robust AAC systems. Communication should be embedded throughout all instruction, not taught in isolation. By integrating opportunities for students to express themselves across activities, we can promote growth, independence, and meaningful participation.
Above all, I believe in always assuming competence. A student’s ability to communicate verbally or participate in activities in the same way as their peers does not define their ability to understand, think, or learn. When we presume capability and provide the appropriate supports, we open the door for students to reach their full potential.
Always assume your learners are capable—and you may be amazed at how far they soar.
