Hi! I am a recently retired Special Education Teacher, with 25 years of teaching experience. I primarily taught elementary/middle school students. I also taught life skills to high school student. I have been married to the same man for 37 years, have 3 children, 3 grandchildren, and 3 dogs. I am fortunate my children live near us because family is very important to us. I enjoy talking, eating, and laughing. What makes me love teaching so much? It is important for me to want my students...

autism
I am a retired teacher with 25 years experience working with students with emotional and unique behavioral needs. Some of my experience working with students with autism came with outside support from specialists in the field. With the hands on training, I've learned how visual prompts are important and consistent expectations. I also have had some experience as a substitute teacher in this area, since retirement.
