Hello.
First off, I apologize for the late post, I was starting to work on my
post, when I called to go back in to work to take a resident to ER, my
job is never done. My name is Heather Fulkerson and I live in San
Diego, Ca. I am currently pursuing my degree in Cognitive Studies. I
chose this degree because for the past 20 years, I have been working
with children/teens with Developmental Disabilities and behavioral
challenges. I am an Administrator for a residential group home. As an
Administrator I am responsible for ensuring that the house is running in
compliance with licensing and Regional Center guidelines and the
residents are able to live a life that promotes their independence. My
job is challenging, but I live what I do. In my very limited spare
time, I like to spend time with my son and family. We typically enjoy
dinner and a movie at least once a week. At 18, he prefers to be
hanging out with his friends instead of mom.
I
t4end to be a visual learner. I prefer reading the material for myself
instead of being lectured. I have to see things laid out in front of
me, so that I can process it better.
I look forward to working with each of you.
Hello Class, my name is Lisa and
I live in a small town in Southern California. I have lived here my
entire life and I absolutely love it. I have three children, two girls
and a boy, they are my world. I am currently perusing a degree in
cognitive studies, and then on to earn my teaching credential for
special needs. I am currently working as an instructional assistant in a
special needs class. I love my job and am very excited about teaching.
Helping to reach these special children is near and dear to my heart. My
son is autistic, and he is the most amazing person I know. I enjoy
reading, spending time with my family and being outdoors. I have always
loved working with children, especially children with special needs.
When I was in high school I worked in a severely handicapped class as
well as working in a primary class with special need children. I think I
was being prepared for what was in store for me with my own child. I
have always felt like working with these kiddos has always been my
calling and my son is the most amazing, funny, full of life,
intelligent, person that I know.
My
bachelor's degree that I am currently pursuing is in cognitive
studies.I am considered a senior and have about 3 months left in my
program. I have taken some ECE units a few years back and really enjoyed
them. I have worked in a daycare back in high school and I now
currently work with special needs kiddos. I have worked with all
different ages and all different areas, with kids ranging in moderate
classes to kids with severe impairments. I have gained so much insight
working with all types of kids. I have probably learned the most from my
own special needs kiddo. Watching how differently he was developing
than your average child. I am really looking forward to this class. I am
excited about this class, and looking forward to getting to know all of
you.
I
would say I am a hands on learner. If I am engaged in a project or a
group activity where I am actively participating, I retain the
information and it stays with me. I also need visual cues as well. I'm a
combination of those two learning styles.
Hello my name is Tawana Parker. I am mom to a 26 year old and a 24 year old. I also have 3 godchildren; expecting my first grandbaby in January. I received my associated degree in early childhoof back in May of 2016. Currently I am working to obtain my bachelors degree in cognitive studies. I am about 19 credits away from graduating. I have worked with children for 20 years. I began in the infant room and served all ages. I was an after coordinator for many years but have found myself back in childcare preparing 4 year olds for kindergarten.
My hobbies include baking, cooking,, and reading. My interest are singing on the prsise and worship ministry at my church, and serving in the church anyway the Lord desires.
I learn visually and hands on because i find that i get a better understanding of the material being presented. Once i do it i learn it and at that point i am able to teach it to someone else.
