About the store
I have worked in special education for 11 years, including 9 years in a Developmental Cognitive Disabilities (DCD) program. I teach students ranging from 7th grade through age 22. Throughout my career, I have consistently found it challenging to locate curriculum materials that meet the diverse needs of my students while also addressing the many areas of transition planning and life skills instruction.
I began creating and sharing my own curriculum resources because there are limited materials available that truly support students with significant and diverse learning needs. My goal is to provide students with meaningful opportunities to develop the same practical life skills and independence their peers are learning.
I invite you to follow along as I continue developing engaging, functional, and accessible resources for the classroom. I hope you find these materials valuable, practical, and easy to implement with your students.
Thank you so much for the support and love.
