About the store
I have 15 years experience in special education, with my specialty, depth of experience, and passion found in launching and developing Adult Transition programs.
Having worked with students of all ages through the years, I can truly say that my passion is working with students who are ready to take 12 years of classroom education and generalize their functional academics in a tangible forms, both in the classroom and community setting.

I also currently work as an Adjunct Faculty member of Alliant International University, working within the University's Autism Authorization Program.

Vocational Time Card Sheets
I wanted to provide this product as a free upload as it has assisted students in my class achieve greater levels of independence and I thought maybe it could do the same for yours!

At first, I would track their hours and productivity, but after awhile it seemed as though it could be beneficial for them to become bigger stakeholders in the process. So, instead of

Interest Inventories and Icebreaker
This is a great beginning of the year activity, when everyone is still getting to know each other. Whether you are like me and have your students for multiple years, or have them only a year, semester, or trimester, these have proven to be a helpful “welcome back” activity that is low key, provides you with important information, and gets your kids talking.

IEP Goal Data Sheets
Hello all! Over the years, I have played with a few different formats to gather data for my students and have settled on this as a form that meets most of my needs. It offers space to quantify what type of prompt is being given: • PP = Physical prompt •NVP = Non-verbal prompt•IVP = Indirect verbal prompt •DVP = Direct verbal prompt • I = Independent • Space for staff comments (because let’s face it, there might be more to the data than ”3 verbal prompts”)There is also a key on each page to fami

Awards & shining teacher moments
Seeing students develop greater independence skills (in vocational tasks, in self-advocacy, in mobility training, etc.) over a period of time is such an honor and makes me glad that I chose this profession.
I have the honor of having incredible partners in crime: my paras, my fellow educators, my admin, and my students parents. I could not be as effective in educating my students without them!

Additional biographical information
I love Jesus, am an avid reader, writer, and love going on adventures, whether small or large! I have an inexplicable love for the city of Los Angeles, am somewhat of a coffee connoisseur, and immensely enjoy connecting with those around me. Storytelling is a great legacy of humanity and an incredible way to connect with people across all cultures, so I continually seek to develop as an engaging storyteller.
