Experience

Welcome to my store!

Teaching style

Student Centered, Therapeutic, Participatory, and Collaborative. I used the TEACCH approach and methodology to teach my students on the spectrum (self-contained classroom). This approach focuses on the "culture of autism" and is based on cognitive-social learning theory. A core value in this approach is appreciating and valuing the unique strengths in every child.

My own education history

Master of Arts Degree from Teachers College/Columbia University in Social and Organizational Psychology from the State of New York. Master of Science Degree in Education with a dual certification in Elementary Education from Hunter College from the state of New York.
