For over 15 years we've had the privilege of working with students and adults in a variety of special education settings. Helping students and clients reach their maximum independence is our top priority. By teaching students academic skills, functional work skills, communication skills and independent living skills we can help set them up for success! Being parents of a child with a disability we realize the importance of these skills and how instruction and training play a critical role in overall development.

We have years of experience working in classroom settings with students from PPCD through post high school training programs and adults. We have been able to teach academic courses as well as vocational training programs and employment preparation as well.
Through our work we have also learned to navigate the often complex, but beneficial processes of local and state programs of support.
Serving as an advocate for multiple clients to ensure delivery of services and creation of specific programs for each individual client is an important job we are proud to have a role in.
Through our work experience and coursework we have extensive training in working with the following populations: Intellectually Disabled, Learning Disabilities, Physically Disabled, Deaf/Hard of Hearing, Deaf-Blind, Autism, Sensory Integration Disorders, Behavioral Challenged and Blind/Low Vision.
Additionally, we are fluent in both English and Spanish, can communicate in ASL, utilize CART technology and read/transcribe Braille. Currently we hold certification through ACVREP as an Orientation and Mobility Specialist as well as additional certifications for Employment Services through the University of North Texas.
Serving as a valued member of the client team to help them achieve their personal goals for employment and independence is my greatest honor.
I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss how I can be a part of your plan for success.
