Summary
I have worked with students of all grades and abilities. I have worked closely with the parents, classroom teachers, school nurses, social workers, psychologists, and any other professionals involved with the student. In many cases, I have worked with the student within the classroom. I work with the students weaknesses as well as their strengths. All in all, I have had to be very flexible with my schedule.
