ADD/ADHD
Regarding my educational background, I have taken several courses in special education, including research and understanding about ADD/ADHD and how to successfully teach students with this problem (providing small tasks/"chunks", arranging desks away from high traffic areas and away from doors and windows where distractions are greatest). I have also been a full-time teacher and tutor for students who have this diagnosis and have experience in logging their times and behavior as it relates to the diagnosis.

I have tutored a student with Autism since 2010. My work with this student centers on patience, breaking up the work into pieces/chunks and visual/picture representation of ideas so that he can have success and understand what he has accomplished. Recently, I took and passed an exam for severely disabled students, allowing me to teach in schools where Autism is prevalent. I currently work at a school for developmentally disabled students and will teach special education here this summer.
