My work primarily involves students with three major segments of disabilities, namely Learning Disability (LD), Mental Retardation (MR) or Intellectual Disability (ID), Visual Impairment (VI), Multiple Disabilities (MD), Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH), and Hearing Impairment (HI).

- Discuss students' progress with parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators.
- Supervise and mentor teaching assistants who work with students with disabilities.
- Prepare and help students transition from grade to grade and for life after graduation.
