Welcome to Preschool!

This year I am working as an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher Consultant at Westerman Preschool & Family Center, Thurston Elementary School, and in Community Preschools within the Ann Arbor area.  I work with students within their learning environments, supporting them directly and through consultation with their teaching teams and families.  Some examples of the skills and areas that I help support are:

• Social-Emotional Development
  • Forming friendships, managing emotions and behaviors, expanding play skills
• Social Communication
  • Taking turns, participating in back and forth conversations, asking and answering questions, understanding non-verbal communication such as, gestures and facial expressions, etc.
• School-Readiness Skills
  • Independence within routines, increasing instructional control such as, the ability to follow classroom directions and participate in daily activities
• Early-Academics
  • Colors, shapes, letters, numbers, name recognition, etc.

 I look forward to working with all of you!
