As recent winner of "The Mountain Mover Award" in Monongalia County, West Virginia, I was recognized for spending time to help both students and teachers reach the highest potential! This inspired me to share my items with other educators.

Hi, I am Heather! I have been a special education teacher for 8 years and specialize in behaviors. I currently teach in an autism classroom and am finding joy making work tasks for my students to become more independent. As recent winner of "The Mountain Mover Award" in Monongalia County, West Virginia, I was recognized for spending time to help both students and teachers reach the highest potential! This inspired me to share my items with other educators.
Teaching style
My autism classroom is set up with 3 areas in mind.
1. Teacher Led Center: This is where I teach direct instruction with the curriculum of Unique N2Y and IEP goals.
2. Independent Work Tasks Center: This is where the students are assigned tasks that are more independent. My Autism Mentor Aides monitor this center and assure task completion and accuracy is taking place. Aides also take data on completed work.
3. Free Choice Center: This is the time that students have social skills practice, classroom expectations (clean up, organizing, sharing, etc.), and satisfy sensory needs.
