Kate
Make learning real
I am a mother of 2 with a master's degree in Elementary and Special Education. I have years of experience working with special needs students on the autism spectrum and with ADHD. I know that learning experiences have to be real for these student in order for them to understand the subject being taught. I also realize that part of education is about building a student's confidence to learn. I'd be happy to work with your students to lessen the stress of homework and learning new material....
ADD/ADHD
I hold a SPED teaching license from the state of MA, and work with various students with ADD/ADHD. I realize not all learning needs to be done sitting at a desk, and frequent breaks are required to make learning effective.
autism
I am familiar with ABA methodology, and have worked as an ABA therapist in various districts with students from 1- 8th grade. I tutor students at home on social skills, and ADL, and work closely with BCBA's to develop programs and track data.

Kate is great! She is flexible with her time and always tries to work around our schedule. She is patient with my daughter and gives me a full recap of what she did during the session. I have seen awesome growth in my daughter with Kate's guidance and help.
