I’m passionate about teaching kids with severe disabilities especially autism and using ATS to give them access to as much as possible #ATS

Do you know how easy it is to edit symbols in @lessonpix ? You can use the swap color tool to make this hockey player look like he plays for the @Capitals . You can also use the high contrast filter to make this picture easier to see! #ALLCAPS #ATSTeamPoe Let's Go Caps!

As Autism Acceptance Month approaches, I invite you to listen to, and amplify, autistic voices in order to be the best advocate. I am beyond honored to teach my students and learn from them each and every day. #RedInstead #AutismAcceptanceWeek

Started trailing a student on a low tech TT8 overlay today and they are totally rocking it!! I’m crying happy tears!! Never under estimate the power of low tech! @AllMeansAllPTES @ShininginSped @ATS_FCPS @PoplarTreeES
Got our touch screen laptops today, the kids loved them! It was great to see educational games that they previously couldn’t play independently suddenly become accessible, these kids are pretty amazing and now they have another way to show their skills 😊 @ATS_FCPS – at Alexandria, VA

I love seeing how much the kids have grown in their recess recreation skills. We use bubbles (letting the wind blow for us), our amazing sensory path, our adaptive basketball hoop, and scooters! – at Chantilly, VA

My kids respond really well to graphic organizers that are more tactile and have elevated sections, I make them by taking a white board and hot gluing craft foam on to make spaces. It comes off easily when the kids are ready to have less scaffolds @ATS_FCPS @ACT_FCPS – at Chantilly, VA

Love it!!! 😊 – at Fairfax Station, VA
Needed to make my SMARTboard accessible to a student who has difficulties standing and loves to mess with all the cords...repurposed old drumsticks so everyone has their own pointer! #getcreative #SPEDteaching #accessibility @ATS_FCPS

Adding visuals and tactile support can make a world of difference! We practiced place value by putting sticks into groups of tens (yellow) and ones (green). We then counted how many yellow sets we had and how many green left over we had @ATS_FCPS @ACT_FCPS – at Chantilly, VA

Working on social skills from 6 feet apart thanks to our power link! Hooked it up to an electric fire decoration. One student controlled the switch to turn the fire on and the other student practiced asking their peer to turn it on. @ATS_FCPS – at Chantilly, VA

Today wrote about places at school, we walked around the building finding words from @lessonpix that were on the wall by rooms. We grabbed them and added them to our word bank. We then wrote about the places at school using our word banks @ACT_FCPS @ATS_FCPS – at Franconia, VA
