7. Early Intervention​ Signs

When it comes to helping kids with autism early intervention is key! A early diagnosis can lead to quicker development over time. Decades of rigorous research show that children’s earliest experiences play a critical role in brain development. Early Intervention (EI) is a federal program that started with the 1975 Education of All Handicapped Children Act.

6. Teamwork is the secret weapon!

Inter-professionalism happens in every workplace. Whether it’s McDonald’s, a corporate office, or even The White House. Every job requires you to communicate with coworkers or peers, all working towards a common goal.

We value collaborative relationships with all families and the community. We celebrate diversity, individual…

DS 106 COMIC BOOK EFFECT REMIX!

So this is a game shot of me playing rugby last fall season. The funny this is how well this photo can go so many topics. One thing that I am very protective over is my leftovers, and living with 2 other siblings sometimes this is how it is. I used a comic book editor on my phone then airdropped the picture, to my computer to go through the meme generator. It did take some trial and error to make…

My useless super power is picking up items with my toes! I have always had very strong feet since I used to do ballet.

5. Importance of Representation

5. Importance of Representation

Everyone develops role models when they are young. At the age of 4, my role model was probably Ariel the Little Mermaid because I love to swim. Later one as I looked at myself and began to digest what my physical features were I found myself in belle, because of her brown eyes and brown hair. I have many princesses and figures in children literacy that look like me, a white girl. I makes me question, who do little black…

4. Parental Involvement​.

When I was growing up my parents were very involved in my education. Every school play, parent-teacher conference, school dance my parents were supportive and very present in my life. I would have thought that all parents be held to that same expectation then I was proven very wrong. I have been sitting in on meetings through out the entire school and this week a big topic was parent engagement and how to keep parents in the loop. Now there…

2. Why are we playing all day?

“I have worked in the school for a week now and had lots of questions.” I have to park on the street because the parking lot is so small, considering the school building is 130 years old. Then I am in the classroom by 7:45 to start the day with Ms. Julie for the AM group. The group consists of 8 kids between the ages of 4-5. All of them are on IEPS. Individual Education Plans are put in place…
