ADD/ADHD

I am a practicing school psychologist who has the opportunity to provide interventions and strategies to students with a variety of disabilities. I have been trained in assessing, classifying, and supporting students with exceptionality. I have worked directly with students diagnosed with ADHD by building executive (planning, organization, self-awareness) and academic skills and consulted with school staff on instructional methods. I have also been in the position to classify students as eligible for special education for significant attention challenges.

Aspergers

As a school psychologist, I have worked directly with students diagnosed with Asperger's (ages K-12) and consulted with school staff on best practice academic/behavior strategies. I find it is helpful to learn what motivates students to engage and use their interests/strengths to guide the learning process. Establishing a good working relationship and comfort level has been very important. I have really enjoyed helping students with Asperger's to continue to build their academic and social skills in a supportive way! As a tutor at Rhode Island College, I worked with a student diagnosed with Asperger's on strategies to improve executive skills (planning, organization, self-awareness, persisting on/completing assignments), coping skills for nervousness, following the course syllabus, and maintaining focus on the purpose/goal of assignments.

I have been trained in assessing, classifying, and supporting students with exceptionality. I have worked directly with students with autism through academic interventions and supporting teachers in developing effective instructional techniques for students with varied communication abilities. I have focused on structuring assignments, using visuals to teach, and reinforcing appropriate behavior.
