Rainbow Autism Resources

I have more than 25 years of experience working with neurodiverse children in a variety of settings and capacities. I have worked as a special education teacher in the public schools, ABA therapist, ABA consultant, autism consultant at the university of Washington, therapist and parent educator and mom to a wonderful son with autism. I have training in social skills training, ABA, PECS, discrete trial teaching, sensory integration, pivotal response training, Denver Early Start Model, positive behavioral supports, and inclusion.

I have an eclectic teaching style. I like to incorporate a variety of teaching strategies and methodologies because I believe the most important component of any education is individualization so that it builds on the interests and strengths of the student. I love finding creative ways to help people enjoy learning and work to the best of their abilities. I believe any child can learn, given the right tools and environment. I take material requests into consideration! I know that working with neuro-diverse learners can often present special challenges that need creative solutions. Feel free to message me if there is a specific type of material you need or you need a specific picture(s) in a product, and I will see what I can do.
