Who+We+Are

Hi! My name is **Debbie Teets**. I have been with the **IU#1** for **30 years**. I taught an Autistic Support Class for 7 years but I taught ESY and had children with autism for close to 15 years. I am currently a Lead Support Teacher for Team 6 in Fayette County. This wikispace can be a __**great resource**__ for teachers and other individuals with experience or those in need of experience with Autism.   //Hi all.. My name is Mary Ann Rocco. One reason I thought this would be an awesome space is that all of us do not know each other. I have been a teacher for IU#1 for 30 years too! The majority of this time has been teaching students with Autism. I love the research based practices/ figuring out strategies for our students. The last three years I have been LST for Autism/OT/PT for the IU. This takes me into our IU#! A.S. and other IU#1classes as well as many distict run classes in the IU#! area that serve students with ASD. I particularly enjoy collaborating with the teams and parents for the students we serve with ASD. // Hello to all! My name is Kristin Szewczyk (pronounced shef-tic), and I am a speech-language pathologist. I currently serve the autistic support classrooms at the I.U. #1 campus at East Franklin, as well as several students on the autism spectrum in Carmichaels Area School District. I am very excited about this forum! We have so much to learn from our students, as well as from each other. I look forward to learning and "wiking" with you!! Take care ~Kristin
