This upcoming school year will be my third year as a Head Teacher at the Rebecca School. 

The Rebecca School is a private school located in New York City. The school services students from the ages 3 -21 with neurodevelopmental delays. It uses the DIR-Floortime model to teach students how to relate and communicate with one another. 

Prior to working as a head teacher, I was a teaching assistant for two years.

Because some of my students are in the extreme side of the autism spectrum, one of my goals is to increase my students' number sense. This can accomplished through 1-to-1 correspondence during morning meeting, an increased understanding of time and space through the use of a visual schedule or learning how to count during peer interactions such as hide and seek. ]]> 2018-09-05 22:27:53 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_yanguas/le7xbhsq56of/wish/278215822 katie_yanguas https://padlet.com/katie_yanguas/le7xbhsq56of/wish/278216155 I am in the process of applying for a volunteer position in a special needs school in Uganda. It has always been a dream to volunteer abroad. However, I recently found a organization that fits my needs which is, a school specially working with children with special needs. ]]> 2018-09-05 22:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katie_yanguas/le7xbhsq56of/wish/278216155
