About Chaka

As both an educator and a parent, I bring a unique perspective and deep understanding to teaching children with Asperger’s. My journey began with my own son, who has Asperger’s, and who is now a published author and illustrator. He has been my greatest teacher, through him, I’ve gained firsthand experience in creating supportive, patient, and effective learning environments tailored to the unique needs of children who are neurodivergent. Professionally, I specialize in helping children with diverse needs develop skills in reading, comprehension (a challenge my son has), and communication. I use a personalized, interest-based approach to ensure lessons are engaging, meaningful, and fun. My methods emphasize structure, encouragement, and celebrating every success to build confidence and foster a love for reading. I’m passionate about empowering children with Asperger’s to unlock their full potential. With empathy, creativity, and dedication, I aim to provide a safe and inspiring space where every student can thrive.
