Additional biographical information
I have a passion for teaching students of all ages with disabilities. I thoroughly enjoy building inclusive opportunities for students to learn about each other and do so in various ways, but are always looking to knock down barriers to communication and engagement. I love creating concrete and meaningful ways for students to access academic, social and language opportunities.
In my spare time, I love doing puzzles (wooden ones are my fave) and am starting to dabble more in reading, planting and almost ready to jump on the sourdough bandwagon!
I hope you find these materials helpful!
