About Kasey

My name is Kasey Cox. I am an elementary/Special Education teacher with 12 years of experience teaching students from Kindergarten through Fifth grade. I have worked with students with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, OHI, and intellectual disabilities. I truly enjoy my job and am passionate about working with students with disabilities and finding diverse and engaging ways of teaching. I am a licensed teacher in Georgia, with a B.S. in Early Childhood Education, reading endorsement, and a Special Education certificate. I am currently working on my master’s degree in special education, if anyone has gone through this process, it truly is a blessing and is very chaotic as a working single mother.

Additionally, I am a single mother of 3 (which that picture sums up how busy my life can be.) Note: This was the only picture where all three were not making a funny face. My passion is watching students grow and having a hand in molding our society’s future. I believe in using multi-sensory techniques for students to retain information and strategies and store these in their long-term memory. I also believe in making learning fun! Games are used in my classroom regularly.  I have a daughter who struggles with learning and has a learning disability. Any strategies/activities that I use to support her, I also use in my classroom. The purpose of this blog is to post ideas and new strategies to help support special education teachers, as well as mothers who struggle with that all dreaded homework time at the end of the day. I have personally been there myself as a teacher and mom.
