I enjoy working with individuals with special needs in the educational setting and the equestrian setting. I'm fairly new to transition from school to community and the resources that are available . I enjoy watching my students transform their horsemanship skills to the arena and their abilities to compete with individuals without special needs and be successful. I have one certified therapy dog and another in training. I have been an Irlen screener for four years. I have been diagnosed with Irlen Syndrome for six years and my colored filters have been changed a few times within those years. The filters have made a huge difference in my abilities to focus, comprehend, decrease in headaches and anxiety as well as ability to read for longer periods of time.
