ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I have been a classroom and Special Education teacher for over twenty-five years. I have experience from kindergarten to grade twelve and beyond. Presently, I am teaching in Langley, B.C. Canada, in a unique multi-grade district program that has developed to accommodate multi-needs of students with FASD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Tourette’s Syndrome, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder), and combinations of these. It is a challenging job but one I love. I work with four incredible teaching assistants and together, we team to meet the needs of the students. For most of the participants, it is the first time they have been able to attend school fulltime and for the entire year.
Being a part of FASD initiative groups in the Okanagan and Shuswap regions as well as presenting workshops throughout B.C. to local and international audiences helps me grow in my knowledge of FASD, and I have met some incredible people along the way.
