Initially I received certification in Rapid Prompting Method training, a multi-sensory technique used to teach students with ASD. Since certification, I have expanded my offerings to include programs, materials, visuals and manipulatives that are particularly engaging and memorable. I teach English language arts (phonemic awareness, phonetic decoding, reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary and grammar) and math (numeric sense and operation, measurement, geometry, algebra, data analysis) with an emphasis on underlying concepts, as well as logical thinking, often termed "thinking skills.". I pride myself in teaching students with autism not to learn by rote, but to do so logically and strategically. These individuals are stronger students as a result.
