I’m SPED teacher but from other countries, listening from her gave me additional knowledge on how to handle Autism
Apple Podcasts5NicthanjasUnited States6 years ago - I love this podcast!
As someone who hasn’t been working with the special education population for very long, I have learned so many things from Nikki. I studied psychology in my undergrad years but there is so much information that isn’t covered in a course, or little tips and tricks that just come from the experience. I appreciate Nikki’s enthusiasm and desire to share her knowledge and wisdom!
