Jennifer Erickson, M.S.Ed, ATP
With over 28 years as a Special Education teacher, consultant, and trainer in public and private schools, my experience runs the gamut. My passion lies with maximizing students’ strengths to become confident, goal-directed learners and providing parents with the tools to be their child’s strongest advocate. Approaches can be adapted to work with a variety of learners:
ADHD
Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)
Autism
Anxiety/OCD
Executive Functioning Deficits
Specific academic skill deficits (reading, writing, math)
I live in Southern Maine with my wife and two dogs. Knitting, sewing, reading, hiking, and dog training are among my varied interests, along with spending time “upta camp,” in the Western Maine mountains.
