Hi, I'm Mike! I am a 30-year-old special ed teacher living in Rocky Hill. I have been working in special ed for 9 years, specializing in adolescents (age 11-21) with challenging behaviors. I was a founding member of The Mill School in VT, a cutting edge school for this population. I currently teach math and science at Venture Academy in Meriden, to the same population. The challenges I support most often relate to: trauma, personality disorders, ASD, ADHD, ODD, depression, and anxiety. I am PMT trained to safely manage violent outbursts. For fun I like to play guitar, read, play Magic, rock climb, ski, and do yoga. I am available for mentorship, tutoring, or babysitting. If your young person is struggling with ups and downs and in need of guidance or support, reach out! I'm happy to meet free of charge to make sure we're a good fit.
