About Margaret

Hello! My name is Maggie. I am a mom of 2 boys (10 and 12). I have been teaching elementary special education since 2010. I have 10 years experience working with elementary age children with significant needs. I am very comfortable with children with all types of needs (sensory, social-emotional, educational, and life skills.) I am very comfortable working with children who use wheelchairs, are non-verbal, communication devices, sensory needs, behavioral needs, alternate feeding needs, toileting, just to name a few. I have worked with students and their families closely and built strong bonds and relationships with my time with them. I strive to bring a balance of fun and structure to my learners. It's very important to me to build a positive bond with my learners - I am someone they can trust, come to with any problem big or small, and build them up in their self-image. I am a big advocate to helping children become more independent and to self-advocate for their needs.
