  • For the 2022-2023 and 2024-2025 school years I taught in a self contained specialty room covering grades K-3. All of the students had characteristics of or were diagnosed with ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder).
  • Provided accomodations and modifications specified on each students' IEP.
  • Tracked data on student IEP goals, behavior, IASPs, etc.

  • Other duties included dealing with behavior ranging for mild to severe on a daily basis, leading a team consisting of myself and two other paras, lesson planning for 4-5 different curriculums (ELA, Math, Science, SS in grades 1-3 general education curriculum as well as Unique curriculum.
  • I wrote and, as needed, amended IEPs that were designed to help each student best bridge and narrow any educational gaps in Academic, Behavioral, Social, and Motor(Fine Motor and Sensory) goals.
  • I led IEP team meetings that included all pertinent individuals involved in each student's education. For example, parents, general education teachers, SLPs, OTs, APE teachers, etc.
