We began working together in 2021 in a middle school center program supporting students with moderate to severe special needs. Through this work, we have collaborated closely to develop meaningful instruction and resources that meet the diverse needs of our students.
We have received training in Orton Gillingham and Comprehensive Literacy for All, which guide our approach to literacy instruction. In our classrooms, we place a strong emphasis on functional life skills and creating age-appropriate materials for secondary students. We believe students should learn at their level while still using materials that respect their age and interests. This philosophy continues to shape the resources we create and share with other educators.
