                                  It is only appropriate to find me with an ipad in hand!  It's either that, or my iphone or Macbook Pro.  Some might say I would bleed "Apple."  I just know that my "tech savvy ahead of his time" dad is smiling down at me from heaven.

                                  With an M.A. in Special Education, I have 37 years in the field.  I taught for 12 years in the public schools within both early childhood programs and a 0-3 Program.  Twenty-four years ago I went into Private Practice with a specialty in working with non-verbal kiddos/adults with Autism, Rett Syndrome and Severe Motor Challenges.  I utilize a myriad of AT and AAC tools to teach literacy/communication to those who are the most challenged.  

                                  In addition to my weekly clients, I consult to school districts, give workshops and consult around the world.  I also teach graduate classes at NEIU in Technology, Curriculum Methods and Autism.
