I have developed a passion for working with students that are non-verbal with autism. When I started working in my K-2 classroom for these individuals the support of bloggers is what got me through my first year. Last school year I was fortunate to be excepted to the Texas Autism Circuit Program where I learned how to implement the 27 evidence-based practices for individuals with autism and I think this is an excellent place to continue collaborating and sharing how I implement them in class.

I can say as this school year comes to a close I have had an extremely successful first year.  I have navigated through the ARD progress and writing good IEPs.  I learned how to align ABLLS-R to TEKS and keeping 8 to 10 severely Autistic and non-verbal students engaged in learning. I had a group of wonderful Instructional Aids (4) that helped me every step of the way.
So after having a great year I have decided to blog about my experiences in the classroom and to collaborate with other teachers.
