I am an autistic adult who has been working with special needs children for 10 years. I started teaching sewing lessons when I was a homeschool senior and discovered that I had a passion for teaching in general but especially for working with students with additional needs. Since then I have worked as a preschool teacher, a private tutor, a community support worker for autistic children and teens, and a teacher's aide working one on one and in small groups with students who needed extra help. I also spent 3 years as an in-home caregiver for a little boy who was non-verbal and wheelchair-bound. 

 Not only do I have both personal and professional experience with autism but I also have 12 years of teaching experience and an associate's degree in special education. I have worked with many autistic children and teens who are all in different places on the spectrum and have different, unique, strengths, and challenges, many of these students have been non verable or had limited verbal ability. I have also been working with autistic and other special needs students on Outschool since January 2020, if you have any concerns please feel free to contact me or to read the reviews on any of my other autism-related classes, especially my autism social groups, as they have the most feedback.
