Adaptive. Visual. Hands on. Use of patterns.
Yet to be added
My creative thinking, problem solving skills and pure driven determination provided the fuel to my accomplishments. Such experiences have propelled me forward to helping others which is the joy of every day I have opportunity to do so.
As a therapist I have always been interested in addressing visual perceptual challenges. In my products I frequently use color coded illustrations. Most recently I have submitted primer level piano pieces in both traditional font and extra large font to meet the needs of students with visual challenges. Check out the piano freebie, "Fall Squirrel Chorus," and other fun tunes. As time permits I will be adding other piano music, including easy music for young students playing bells. The bell pieces include piano accompany. In addition, be watching for more middle school math materials that I desire to create a Pre-Algebra bundle!
