Message to Students and Parents
You are unique!
Do you know who the happiest people are? – Those who just accept themselves the way they are, who learn to be happy with what they have and not worry about what others think. Struggling to live up to ideals that you think are expected of you by your peers puts a real weight on you, but there’s freedom in just being what you are and who you are.
Building self-esteem often has a lot to do with accepting who you are. The more at peace you are with yourself, the happier you’ll be, and the more relaxed you will be. When you accept the way God made you and have His love in your heart, you’ll be your unique self.

My Message:
During my first year at TAAS, I taught two students who had been diagnosed with autism. I took a course in Applied Behavior Analysis which aided me in helping them in school. I never imagined Special Education would be my career but the more I delved into this field, the more passionate I became!
Intelligence can be developed, embrace challenges, keep going when things get difficult, see effort as the path to mastery.
