We all need a sense of community and belonging! Students with differing abilities such as Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities are welcome to join us for this ongoing class where we will share about ourselves, learn about others, and make a friend or two. Each class we will chat, have a chance to show and tell, and play a fun game. Bring your favorite coloring book, play dough, fidget, or anything else you'd like to do while we chat with each other. Students are invited to bring an item that is special to them that they would like to show and discuss with their peers. This could be a craft they made, a picture of their family, their pet... anything that is special to them! Students will be encouraged to discuss topics of their interest. I will facilitate conversation and can suggest topics to discuss. Topics may include: hobbies, families, movies, traditions, and more! I am happy to make any accommodations I can for your child to make it the best experience possible for them. You can always message me to discuss this. Thank you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Working with individuals with differing abilities is my calling and I have been doing so for over 8 years. Most recently, I have managed a home and community based program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in which we worked together to develop their independent living skills and socialization skills. I currently volunteer as a mentor to high school students with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
