I can finally share details! In the fall of 2019, I started a huge collaborative project with a handful of other professionals and groups across the nation to create an amazing resource for families choosing to homeschool their high schoolers with learning struggles or disabilities. Along with the amazing SPED Homeschool and HSLDA among the many contributors, we created a master class of 20 detailed modules of all you need to know about homeschooling your high schoolers with special needs or learning struggles. I specifically spent a significant amount of hours researching, creating and submitting two of the modules on accommodations for both standardized tests (Module 17) and college accommodations (Module 10).

Here is a link to the preview of the master class, which will be available starting June 16th! If you are homeschooling a struggling learner who is in middle school/high school or approaching that age, you don't want to miss this amazing resource!

I am excited to share that on April 28th, my husband and I welcomed our daughter, Jocelyn Rebecca Walker. We are so thankful for this gift, and I am currently loving being on maternity leave with her and her two older brothers Rhett and Ro.

Since I am on maternity leave, I am not currently accepting clients for the few weeks of the remainder of the school year, as well limiting my summer hours. Please feel free to still contact me for inquiries.

At the end of 2019, I closed out the year completely burnt out professionally and as a mom, wife, friend, and individual. I made the necessary decision to step back from most things in order to focus on my young boys and husband, who needed me.

Despite the trials that 2020 has brought to so many, it has thankfully been a year of refreshment, recuperation, and reorientation for me individually. I was very selective on things I continued to pursue, and one of those things I chose is almost ready! I've been collaborating with a well established organization and several professionals this last year on a very big project geared towards families homeschooling struggling learners or children with special needs.

I can't wait to share the details SOON!

-Did you know teacherspayteachers.com has a digital tools program accompanying many of their resources now? It is one way I successfully do virtual tutoring.

-Did you know I have a large amount of google slides and docs I have made this year to teach reading interventions virtually? While virtual teaching is not always ideal, it is sufficient to still implement research-based reading methods over screen sharing.

-Did you know I have current clients from young students doing basic reading and math all the way up to older students doing high school level subjects? I have two education degrees (General Elementary Education K-6 and Special Education K-12) with almost 6 years of high school teaching experience under my belt.

-Did you know I still have a few tutoring spots left for this upcoming semester? Contact me at [email protected] or 574-453-8529 for more information on how I might assist your child!

I have two tutoring slots currently opening in January! For those choosing virtual learning, my main method of work is using document camera, screen sharing, and many online documents, programs and resources to use for a variety of tutoring methods.

I have students at the beginning reading level all the way until high school, covering all subjects.

Shoot me an email if interested in more information!

Does your child struggle with spelling? I highly suggest this research-based resource as a supplemental tool for your child's spelling lists. I love it because it has three different options. One helps kids who are more visual learners, and one also helps kids break down words by their blends rather than individual letters. Oh, and the rights to it are only $1 on teacherspayteachers.com.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Spelling-Activity-for-Any-List-10-word-list-339390

This is a collection of three different spelling activities that will work for any list. The three activities are ABC order, Sound Box, and Word Shapes. This file is set up for 10 words. A 15-word version is also available.

I had a few virtual tutoring slots open up for Wednesday or Thursday this week only. Feel free to message me if your child needs help catching up on work, focusing on a subject or assignment they are struggling with, or anything customized. Feel free to email me at [email protected] to set up a time!

Along with everyone else, I’ve had to get creative in 2020 for tutoring. As all sessions moved to virtual meetings when Covid hit back in March, I have adapted and changed a bit with what research-based activities, targeted skills, and programs are used. While I will have a few sessions in person beginning this school year, several of my sessions will still be virtual.

I am thankful I am fully booked for the Fall Semester, but if you have questions, concerns or in need of suggestions along the way, don’t ever hesitate to reach out! I love answering questions or guiding others to resources!

Here is an area that is frequently targeted in Occupational Therapy sessions, but has vast impact on many areas, including reading, handwriting, and coordination for all ages, especially the young preschool years.

Crossing the Midline.

This article has a lot of information about what it is and the impact is has, as well as some activities. Then, simply put "Crossing the midline activities" into Pinterest, and you will be met with a large amount of activities that are simple, doable, and effective with helping your child. They may already be doing a lot of these things anyway!

Check it out.

Occupational Therapy helps children with crossing the body’s midline by developing: manipulation, hand dominance, finger strength, & bilateral integration.
