Highlights:As a dedicated special education teacher, I've supported elementary-level students with diverse needs by assessing them, developing individualized education plans (IEPs), and teaching core and non-academic skills. I've worked in self-contained and resource classrooms, delivering tailored instruction to students aged 6-12 with conditions like ADHD, learning disabilities, and autism. Collaboration with parents, advocacy for students, and program-related tasks have been essential. I've also served as an Instructional Support Service Specialist, offering early intervention to young learners aged 3-10 with autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. I tailored instruction to align with their IEPs, provided one-on-one and group remedial instruction, and ensured effective communication with colleagues and parents. In a self-contained classroom, I taught 15 Grade IV students with intellectual disabilities and autism, collaborating with a special education teacher to adapt instruction to their unique needs. This included preparing daily instructional materials and using various methods for assessing progress. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills to support students with diverse needs, collaborate effectively, and contribute to their educational growth.
