About the store
My first job in education was as a paraeducator at a non-public ABA school for students with autism who had significant problem behavior. From there I quickly advanced to teacher. I taught at this non-public ABA school for several years with students ages 10-15. Then, I helped a public school district open their own ABA classrooms, there I taught a self contained K-2 class for children with autism. I taught in an emotionally disturbed k-2 hybrid classroom before going back to middle school. Currently, I teach in a moderate/severe self contained middle school classroom. I am going into my 13th year of teaching!

Editable Break Cards
This tool is a simple visual for students who are learning to self-regulate. Each page of cards has a different feeling/break option. I print these on different colored paper & ask the students to just hold it up if their in need of a break. This way my para-educators and I know what they're feeling and can quickly find out what the solution is so it doesn't interrupt teaching. THESE CAN BE EDITED!

Teaching style
My teaching style is fun and functional! I believe children (especially sped) learn best when they are engaged and are enjoying their learning. Everything I teach is for a functional purpose. When moderate/severe special education students reach secondary schools it is time to begin preparing them for their future. I believe in helping children gain the skills to be as independent as possible in their lives.
