Janice Carrara
Self-Contained Autism 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
I am a special education teacher in North Carolina. I teach 9 boys diagnosed with Autism. I have a 10 year old son diagnosed with ADD, speech delay and he is selectively mute. I teach in a Title 1 school and have severely limited resources and funds to obtain resources that are greatly needed in my class. Last year I was trained for 8 months to become a service dog handler from Paws 4 People. I was able to bring my service dog, Magnolia, to school with me daily. Magnolia helps my students in many areas. Socially, communication, educationally, sensory, are just a few areas that she has been able to positively impact our school community. I also started a Special Education Parent Teacher Organization in my school. My vision for this group is to provide education, and resources to families and teachers of children with special needs. To be able to give teachers in the general education classroom resources and training in order to provide better service to their children and offering them a better chance of a successful educational experience. I am always looking for research based methods to teach children with special needs. I am always looking for better ways to incorporate parents and families into the education of our students. The funds received will be used for these reasons. To provide proper instructional material for our students, to provide training for parents and teachers, to provide more educational/social activities that include all students.
