WORK EXPERIENCE
Educational/SPED Paraprofessional
Charter School
July 2024 - 2025
A special education teacher's aide in Arizona, where I provided individualized support to students with diverse needs, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and various other developmental disorders. My primary responsibilities involved delivering instruction in all subjects to a first-grade student in a self-contained classroom from 8 AM to 12 PM. During this time, I focused on one-on-one instruction and the development of coping skills, as I was uniquely positioned at the school to engage this student effectively and minimize behavioral challenges. From 1 PM to 3 PM, I facilitated small group instruction for 2 to 4 students, concentrating on academic subjects such as mathematics and reading, as well as enhancing their social and communication skills. I employed a variety of educational techniques, including coping strategies, sensory play, modeling, social interaction, and small learning to enrich their learning experiences and support their overall development.
