As a special education teacher specializing in deaf and hard of hearing students, I have developed materials for special purposes related to mainstream curricula throughout my career. I have taught at every level and almost every subject. Designing materials for a specific purpose makes things much more relevant; learning is made much easier and much more understandable.

I've spent 35+ years developing special materials for special children to support mainstream curricula.
