About KaDe

My name is KaDe, and I am a licensed Special Education Teacher with a Master’s degree in education and specialized experience in transition programming for teens and young adults with disabilities. I currently work in a transition program supporting students ages 18–22 as they develop executive functioning skills, self-advocacy, employment readiness, and independent living abilities.

Over the years, I have worked closely with students with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other diverse learning needs. My professional background includes IEP development, goal writing, transition planning, data-driven instruction, and individualized academic and life skills support.

I am deeply committed to evidence-based practices and student-centered instruction. My work emphasizes self-determination, independence, and practical skill development that extends beyond the classroom. I believe in fostering a supportive and structured learning environment where students feel capable, respected, and empowered.

Families appreciate that I combine professional expertise with patience, clarity, and high expectations. I maintain consistent communication, structured lesson planning, and measurable progress tracking to ensure meaningful growth for every student.

As an educator, I value professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I approach every session prepared, organized, and focused on helping students build the confidence and skills they need for long-term success.

About the lesson

Hi, I’m KaDe, a licensed Special Education Teacher and Transition Specialist who works with teens and young adults in building independence, executive functioning skills, and real-world readiness.

My teaching approach is student-centered, strengths-based, and highly individualized. I believe meaningful growth happens when students understand why they are learning something and how it connects to their future goals. I blend structured skill-building with practical application so students gain confidence, not just content knowledge.

My teaching methods and techniques include:
- Explicit instruction with clear modeling and guided practice
- Executive functioning coaching (organization, time management, task initiation, planning)
- Real-life application of skills (budgeting, job readiness, self-advocacy, college/career preparation)
- Visual supports, checklists, and structured routines
- Gradual release of responsibility to build independence

I focus heavily on self-determination which helps students set goals, make decisions, and advocate for themselves in academic and real-world settings.

Each lesson will typically includes:
- A structured check-in and review of goals
- Direct instruction or guided coaching on a targeted skill
- Practice using real-world scenarios or current assignments
- Strategy building and reflection
- Clear next steps to build independence between sessions

What makes myself different is my background in transition programming for students ages 18–22. I specialize in bridging the gap between school and adulthood. I understand IEP goals, executive functioning challenges, autism supports, and the real-world skills students need beyond academics.

Rather than just completing homework together, I teach students how to think, plan, and problem-solve independently.

My lessons are ideal for:
- Middle school through young adult students
- Students with autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities
- Teens preparing for college, employment, or independent living
- Students struggling with organization, motivation, or follow-through
- Families seeking transition planning or executive functioning support

KaDe and I have worked together for nearly 7 years. We were both in special education, though, working with different disability areas at the time. We have continued to work together since and have come together in working with all disability categories at this point in our careers.

I appreciate her passion for the students and her lessons. She has experience in all areas of special education and always gives it her all. She works to meet every student's individual needs. She works hard to build relationships with students while also holding them accountable to meet their fullest potential.
