Inclusive Education Consultant, Coach, And Presenter
CurrentI am an educational consultant supporting schools and organizations to reach all kids with inclusive, strengths-based practices. I coach teachers and others to teach and support autistic students and all kids with a variety of academic, executive functioning, and social support needs. Through the lens of Universal Design for learning, I work with educators to consider the "kid in context," examining the environment, demands, and expectations as the starting point for helping students be successful. I specialize in helping teachers use clear and purposeful visual supports, focused graphic organizers, clarity and structure in instruction based on principles of learning and memory, and a range of executive functioning supports and other scaffolds. As a proud member of Carol Gray’s Team Social Stories, I provide Social Stories workshop and collaborate with Carol and the team to continually update and refine the Social Stories philosophy and approach. Committed to centering disabled perspectives, I'm grateful for what I have and continue to learn from and alongside my students with disabilities and my autistic collaborators and colleagues.
