I have taught in many different Special Education settings. At times, I struggle to find just the right materials to teach. I specialize in making materials that follow the grade level curriculum at varied reading and ability levels. I also custom make Life Skills sheets. Please feel free to email me requests for worksheets of this nature.
Edit: This year I got a new position at a vocational school for Computers/Visual & Performing Arts at the high school level (although assignments will be modified). I will be teaching a mash-up of art, technology, and life skills.
