Lisa Hollady | Independent Work Systems
Episode description
Lisa Hollady is the creator of Chalkboard Superhero. She grew up in central New York and always knew she wanted to be a special education teacher. After graduating with her Masters in 2008, she has been working with students on the spectrum. She has had an array of different abilities but most of which had ASD. She worked in a self-contained setting in elementary for 8 years. This past year, she took a new position in a different district at the High School level in a 6:1:3 intensive Autism program and has since fallen in love with the program. Designing the curriculum for transitioning students is very different from providing foundational learning in Kindergarten, but it really has been a blessing.
At this point in her life, she considers herself an Autism specialist.
In 2010, she married my best friend of 10 years, and they have 3 beautiful children. Ava is 6 and Jacob will be 4. They just added to the family and her name is Ryleigh. Jacob has Down Syndrome and is the fire behind her passion as a Special Education Teacher. She truly tries to make all of her resources fit the needs of all children. She has a passion for making resources fun, engaging, and purposeful. She really hates wasting kids' time, as she feels the time spent in school is so very precious.
