About me
I have been a practicing Occupational Therapist for 31 years with experience in all areas of school, hospital, long term care, and home care settings providing services to pediatric and adult populations. I have been with the McHenry School District for 8 years working in self contained, instructional, and general education classrooms primarily using a push in model of practice. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist and have a high level of insight in the areas of neurodiversity, visual processing/perception, sensory/self regulation, motor skills, and self help skills and the neurology of learning and mastering instruction. I have a strong knowledge base on adapting, accommodating, and implementing strategies that improve student performance in the classroom.
