Mary Ninemeier Watts, MS:
Great to meet you!
I was born and raised in the Cheese Capital of the world (Wisconsin). I have worked with children and families for the last 30 years as a Special Education Teacher. I loved working with the kids and so often thought, I wish I could help the parents. The students I worked with would act completely different at home than at school. I found that supporting parents and offering predictability across settings was a real benefit for the students.
Speciality: 30 years of working with students with special needs. I have worked with students with Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities, Trauma, Oppositional Defiance, etc etc. I have done training in Crisis Intervention, Zones of Regulation, and mindfulness techniques.
Works with: Children 5-12 + Parents
Style: Humorous, Detail-Oriented, Flexible
Master of Science in Special Education, Bachelor of Science in General Education
Available throughout the US
