My name is Leah Gherardi. I am a New York State Certified Special Education Teacher of grades K through 12. For 15 years I have been teaching children with Autism in the Hudson Valley of New York.
Teaching individuals with Autism is my passion. My special interests include Social Skills instruction for children on and off the spectrum. My experience has been that children learn best if presented with the right opportunities to socialize in a safe environment. Participants are given the skills and opportunity to develop their own social skills in and out of the group. Each group sets its own pace and chooses activities to participate in the community.
