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.
