I have been a special needs practitioner/teacher for ten years--it is my passion! I have taught students who range from profound to moderate to severe learning difficulties. I also have a lot of experience teaching students who are on the Autism Spectrum. Most of the content that I teach focuses in the area of functional life skills, social skills and behavior modifications.

This social story is a great read for students who may need some support with going to the toilet.
