I practiced as a Speech-Language Pathologist for 24 years in school, pre-school and home health settings. Following this experience, I accepted a lateral entry position as a Resource Teacher where I completed licensure requirements for Special Education General Curriculum. After six years of teaching in a resource classroom, I added on Special Education Adapted Curriculum licensure and began teaching in a self contained classroom. For the past four years, I have taught in an Autistic II classroom, an ID Moderate classroom, and an Extended Content Support I classroom.
