I believe we support student needs best by creating inclusive spaces for them

During that time, she also worked for parents who had FSCD supports. These experiences inspired her to complete a degree in special education. Kathy taught students with complex needs in specialized classrooms, specifically with autism spectrum disorders, for 13 years. Recognizing a need for better support for children in the community, she pursued a Master's Degree in Special Education. Kathy believe that we support student needs best by creating inclusive spaces for them in their schools and in their community and by providing evidence-based support for their complex needs.

As part of the multidisciplinary team at Khan, Kathy provides behavior support to families and school communities. In her role as a child development consultant, she views behavior as a function of a child's needs and a reflection of their abilities. She supports those closest to them with strategies to meet their specific needs. Kathy also supports families when their child has received a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder by helping them navigate the procedures to accessing FSCD.
As a home education service coordinator, Kathy helps parents learn skills in the area of behavior, executive functioning and social communication. She also administers reading assessments and math assessments for children with delays, and guides parents with appropriate strategies that increase their child's learning and academic success.
