My Students
Our classroom is totally new this year! We have students ranging in grades Kinder through 2nd grade. All 8 of my students have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

My students are an amazing bunch of kids and I am honored to be teaching them this year. I hope the classroom is a warm, welcome learning environment for them.

Art therapy promotes mental and emotional growth through art making. Unlike art instruction, art therapy is conducted with the aim of building life skills, addressing deficits and problem behaviors, and promoting healthy self-expression.
