Mrs. Karen Picciotti
Welcome! Prior to working at Vanguard, I taught at Bancroft Neurohealth in NJ for 4 years. I then taught in a NJ public school for 5 years where my K-2nd grade class was based on the principles of ABA. After starting a family, I spent time as an educational/behavioral consultant in NJ. I assisted implementing ABA programs for students with Autism in NJ public school settings with the agency, Interactive Kids. I began working at the Vanguard School in 2016 as a job coach in the Vanguard Transition Center. I started teaching the WORC program in 2017.
WORC (Work Orientation Readiness Center) teaches and measures the performance in pre-employability, interpersonal, and soft skills. Functional activities are assigned regularly to students. Those activities include: sorting, collating, stapling, paper clipping, laminating, binding, folding, inserting, labeling, cutting, sealing, packaging, assembling, etc. Skills checklists and task analysis provide evidence of student's knowledge and skill level.
