Christen LaChance

I have worked in the special education sector for 7 years, as a teacher/case manager, IEP coach, and diagnostician. My primary professional experience is with students on the autism spectrum, ADHD, learning disabilities, and emotional-behavioral disorders. In my graduate work, I focused on social skills research for individuals with autism, and bettering practices in identifying learning disabilities in children from varying cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. In addition to working with neurodiverse children, I also have experience coaching families through the special education process by bridging the gap between schools, clinics, and the home. I am passionate about inclusive education and I believe every child should have equal opportunity to grow and learn.
