I have been working with children and adults diagnosed with various disabilities for the last nine years. Over this time I have fallen in love with working with others with special needs, and I feel it is a true calling. I have a Bachelor's degree from Radford University, and I am licensed in the state of Virginia to teach Special Education K-12. I have worked in both pubic and private schools for the majority of my career thus far, and I worked at a day support program for adults for a year. I have experience working with individuals with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, emotional disabilities, physical disabilities, and intellectual disabilities.
