ADD/ADHD
I have a BSED in Elementary Education and Special Education from West Chester University. I have a Master's in Reading as well. I have worked with students who have varying degrees of ADD or ADHD. What works for one child may not work for another. I find that the most important thing that I can do as a teacher is to make learning interesting and tap into what they enjoy learning about.
Aspergers
During my eight years of teaching special education, I have worked with students who were identified as having Aspergers. I have created and implemented plans to help meet their specific needs with the IEP team. I have a BSED in Special Education and Elementary Education and a Master's in Reading.
autism
During my undergraduate degree, I volunteered for approximately three years in a Kindergarten through second grade verbal behavior autism support classroom. Additionally, during my 8 years as a learning support teacher, many of my students have been identified as having autism. I have developed plans to meet their needs within the school environment (e.g., transitions, sensory needs, knowing how to ask for a break, and the like). I know basic sign language to communicate with students who cannot speak.
