Lillian Smith

4th – 7th

With 7 years teaching experience I am excited to be a part if the IEP School team. I have spent my time in education acting as a special education director, an RTI/MTSS coordinator- including the development of a full intervention and special education program for a school, and teacher across the continuum of educational environments. I started as a student of speech and language pathology, but quickly fell in love with all that teaching special education has to offer. I have worked with all age groups at all levels of special education and have yet to find one I don’t like! I am especially passionate about literacy, and teach this in a language rich environment. I have additional/specialized training in Autism, Self-Regulation, Capturing Kids Hearts, Crisis Prevention, and am working on becoming a certified Behavior Technician. Recently I have begun to pursue becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
