ADD/ADHD
I began working with students with mild to severe ADD and ADHD in 2006 as a substitute teacher with Baltimore County Public Schools. I taught in the Special Education departments of high schools in several long-term substitute teaching assignments (several months each) between early 2006 and mid 2009. I've also been formally educated by the the Learning Specialist at Palmer Trinity School about how to make accommodations and adaptations for ADD/ADHD students.

Not only did Elena respond quickly to my message, but she was well prepared and prompt when it came time to meet for our session. She is smart, sweet, and funny and thanks to her, I passed my biological anthropology class! Patient, kind, and accommodating!
