Hello! I have 8 years of professional experience working in special education as a preschool assistant, para-educator, and most recently a behavior specialist where I conducted behavior assessments as a member of the IEP team and provided behavior therapy and social skills instruction. I have a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science & I am CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) trained. My expertise is working w/ individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental delays, by providing care taking, companionship, mentoring, & tutoring. I have experience providing instruction in the areas of social studies, ELA, and science; I am an expert in social skills instruction using the CASEL framework (based on the five areas of social and emotional competency); and highly knowledgeable and experienced in utilizing positive behavior intervention techniques. My super-power is forming positive connections and affecting positive change, all while creating a safe space and having fun!

    Kiara is kind, patient and approachable. My autistic 7yo son LOVED her. She's dependable and punctual. I recommend her highly.
