I’m a mom of three, a special education teacher, behavior consultant, autism advocate, and the woman who created SheTeachesMe out of lived experience and whole-hearted determination.

SheTeachesMe is the culmination of a journey that has taught me that you can serve them best by listening, observing, and participating and that there are real responses to their behaviors because those behaviors aren’t random, they mean something and understanding that leads to growth.

I’ve walked through Target holding my nonverbal daughter during a sensory meltdown.

I’ve rewritten lesson plans at midnight for students who weren’t learning the “right” way.

I’ve sat on floors, in IEP meetings, and across kitchen tables with parents who just wanted someone to say, “You’re doing better than you think.”

That’s why I’m here - to teach the part of the journey most people don’t see.

Because when we learn how to listen to behavior, how to build executive functioning, and how to honor communication in all its forms, we stop seeing the child as the problem—and start becoming the solution.
