Hi there! I'm Austin, an Autism Teacher in a center-based program. I work daily with students who have a wide range of needs, including communication differences, sensory needs, and challenging behaviors. I'm experienced with AAC, visual supports, schedules, token systems, and helping students stay regulated and successful throughout their day. I'm Safety-Care trained and skilled in calm, supportive de-escalation. Families and coworkers know me as a patient, reliable, and consistent individual. I care about meeting people where they're at and creating a safe, positive environment. I'd love to support your child or young adult with routines, skill-building, community outings, or just providing a steady, understanding presence. Feel free to reach out--I'm here to help in any way I can.
