I can answer questions having to do with many levels of education, including K-8 & Special Education. I am able to answer questions based on classroom management, behavior, behavior modification, curriculum, homework, classwork, as well as other questions related to the field of education.

I also have experience on a managerial level with the local chapter of The Arc. Here I am the assistant director of their Camp Star program. We run a camp for students with special needs, from ages 7-21. I have worked with students in all age categories.
