Special education teacher specializing in ASD, delivering compliant IEPs and inclusive, data-driven support.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced Special Education Teacher specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) self-contained classrooms and cross-categorical programming. I design individualized academic and behavioral programming for students with moderate-to-severe ASD while delivering structured, supportive learning environments.
I build and maintain compliant IEPs aligned with state and federal guidelines, using structured teaching models, visual supports, and data-driven instruction. I conduct progress monitoring, maintain organized documentation systems, and lead IEP meetings while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and families in meaningful ways.
I’ve also supported students through resource room and cross-categorical settings, developing accommodations and curriculum modifications aligned to general education standards and implementing behavior intervention plans and structured reinforcement systems. Recognized for leadership and inclusive programming (including Founders Day Outstanding Educator and Allen Park Outstanding Program), I’m seeking remote or hybrid supplemental roles in education support, IEP consulting, tutoring, case management, or administrative coordination.
