I have spent the past 11 years working in a preschool for children with special needs. I have worked with all ranges of diagnoses; from common to very rare. I have used my Exact English Sign Language skills in my classroom to help communication and lessen frustration levels of my students. I have made excellent relationships with the parents of my students, and have kept in touch with many of my graduated families. My passion, dedication, and love for children with special needs can not be missed by anyone who has seen me work!
