Introduction--Kristin DelMonaco

Hello everyone! My name is Kristin DelMonaco and I am a resident of Hermitage, PA. The graduate program I am studying is the Intervention Specialist: Mild/Moderate. I attended Slippery Rock University, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education K-6. Currently I work at The Rich Center for Autism, located at YSU. I work in the preschool classroom and find it challenging yet rewarding. Our emphasis typically is not centered on academics, instead on IEP goals and the ABLLS curriculum(focus on basic skills). Before working at the center I had no experience working with individuals with special needs and this past year has made me want to expand my knowledge. This is my first online course and I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.
