You are too cute!! I'm also an SDC/SAI self-contained TK-3 teacher in California. I'm going on 17 years but honestly every year feels like a new experience lol! I love your channel and am excited for you because you have a great niche on TH-cam and I know first hand how much work everything is, so thank you for adding to your already busy schedule to make these videos and write your blogs! Take care! Apryl 😊
Amazing- the amount of work that you do in class, video, edit, teach a class, and write IEPs. Great videos, you're teaching, and inspiring other teachers. God bless. Going on 12 years as a sped teacher and I am exhausted most days.
It is so neat to see all the things you adapt so your students can access the same grade level content as their peers. We don’t really do that at my school. Inclusion is pretty much limited to morning meeting and specials times.
Thanks for sharing, I love your content. I teach self contained K-2 and love it as well. Im always looking for new ideas and motivation, you have definitely provided that.
Having the projector go to the whiteboard is GAME CHANGING. I love it. The best ever. Loved watching your first day and catching up with you!!!! "It was supposed to go in a pocket chart, but I'm too lazy" you mean you're efficient.... :) haha! I love seeing the different techniques you use and the ways you teach things. So helpful! Seems like you got SO MUCH DONE. Love you friend!!! Also yay for short commutes!!
I hate setting up a schedule, I'm a resource teacher and I have some kids that are self contained. Thanks for making this to give me ideas! You're awesome!
Thank you so much for your amazing ideas and suggestions. I started teaching in a self-contained K-2 classroom on an emergency teaching license last year. This is my first full year. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed but find your videos so helpful!! I am so glad I found your videos!
Braelynn, can I just say you are SO amazing. You are just a fantastic teacher and I feel like I would learn TONS from a single day in your classroom. I hope you have the best school year ever! Do you ever chat or video with your subscribers? I am a newer teacher and I actually went back to being a para this year because I felt overwhelmed and unprepared. I would love to pick your brain and see if you share any of my frustrations and have advice. I love teaching but I feel lost.
I just found out about your channel and i want to thank you.. I think ur contents are informative for teacher like me who's planning to teach SPED in the US .. Congratulations you look like comfortable in teaching ❣️ and i really like your slide presentation, can you give me one of those ? 😁😅
Hello! I was reaching out because I support a disability network for my company and I was wondering if you were willing to give a talk to my associates around preparations for back to school for students with special needs. Any tactics parents could do or any resources that would be available to them. I have a lot of associates that are parents to children with special needs and I was thinking that it would helpful for them and anyone that might not have the experience of what this process would look/feel like for them as parents or their special need children. Getting a teachers perspective might be very insightful as well. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you.
Visualise all that you can... things like communication boards they can point to to let you know their needs (toilet, tired, hungry, happy, too loud etc.) to visual cards that allow you to communicate with them. Hand signals can be helpful as well. Set a predictable routine as much as possible there's less anxiety when people know what to expect from you. That's also true for autistic kids. Don't see them as a problem to be fixed and force being verbal on them. You can support their verbal abilities but don't force. Praise them for the skills and insights they have. Nobody wants to be seen as a bunch of deficits to be handled.
Congratulations on your 5th year of teaching. Thanks for all you do for the kids!

How do you handle children with autism (non verbal) any idea or tips pls. Really needed.

You're late because I retired June 2020. Still sub here and there but no long term classroom commitments for me.
