I am an inclusive education consultant, coach, and presenter working to help schools become places where all kids can learn, be seen, and belong.I consult with teachers, schools, and other organizations to help them develop creative, kid-centric, inclusive, strengths-based instruction and supports for autistic students and all kids with a variety of academic, executive functioning, and social support needs. As a member of Team Social Stories, I also provide Social Stories workshops and collaborate with Carol Gray and the team to continually update and refine the Social Stories philosophy and approach. A former special education teacher, I was previously Director of Professional Development and Executive Director of the ASD Nest Support Project at New York University, leading the nation’s largest inclusion program for autistic students, the NYC Department of Education’s ASD Nest Program. I've been adjunct faculty at Hunter College and NYU, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses on instructional methods for students with learning disabilities and teaching students with complex support needs.
Listed skills include Special Education, Staff Development, Teaching, Autism Spectrum Disorders, and 13 others.
