About the store
This is my 19th year as an education specialist, where I currently teach a Mild/Moderate TK-1 special day class. Before teaching this group, I roved my district as the Autism Specialist, supporting kids across the entire spectrum. Throughout my career I have written social stories, made token charts, and created visual supports for nonverbal preschoolers, fully included sixth graders, and everything in between. It has been my extreme pleasure to see what I have created help my students bloom, and I know my products will help your students have the same success!

Teaching style

I believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! Using effective visuals sets the foundation for a successful school experience, for both teacher and student.
