✰✬✯ Great for Parent Communication and Teacher Documentation! Use Daily!✫This is a daily report form that can be used for one week.

I created this powerpoint to train both general education and special education teachers. It is a basic behavior analysis presentation, which could also be used with education students.

From there the slides discuss the antecedents, target problem behaviors,

I created this document and presented to the support staff members, who work with children with special needs, at my school. It teaches and gives examples of how to use positive verbal guidance and positive behavior strategies. Throughout the professional development I had the adults work in groups.

I have used this with various students with autism. You can simply change the pictures to correlate with the individual child's replacement behaviors. It's also smart to laminate it and use velcro to put the picture of what the child is "working for." You can draw stars or use stickers.

Experience

I have been a special educator in a self-contained setting for almost two decades. Working with students with autism is my niche. Special education is truly my passion.

Teaching style

Differentiate, differentiate, differentiate!!! Incorporate lots of hands-on learning and sensory-based activities. Keep your data! Set up a great centers/ rotation schedule...just a few ideas! Overall, I believe in individualized instruction across settings. Every child can learn, and no child learns in the same way. I always keep an open-mind and think outside of the box. If a child isn't learning, I change my approach. Always keep an open mind and an open heart <3
