About Danielle

My care journey started in residential care in the Deafblind program at Perkins School for the Blind, where I learned how structure an environment for accessibility, livability, and enrichment for kids and younger adults (ages 8-22 years) with differing needs. I stayed in special and art education until my Masters in Fine Arts began in 2022. Recently I returned to teaching to complete a Teaching Artist Residency through Arts for Learning MA, where I spent the year teaching art in two moderate disability cohorts at Lawrence High. As a teacher with combined ADHD and learning disabilities too, it was so incredibly rewarding. Currently, I'm taking the MTELS to gain my provisional teaching licensure in English and Visual Art. My goal is to begin a M. Ed program in moderate disability for my initial teaching licensure by 2027. I also passionately teach time management and gross/fine motor skills to support my neurospicy folks with activities of daily living (all ages !)
