I have 15 students with disabilities that include: Autism, Learning Disabilities, Mild Cognitive Impairments, Behavior Disorders, Emotional Disorders, and Other Health Impairments. I work with 4th and 5th graders in Reading, Writing, and Math in the general education and special education setting. I strive to instill excellent character and strong values in our youth each day. This is my seventh year teaching special education in Chicago Public Schools to students who live in high poverty. Your generous donations will directly affect students with disabilities each day.
