Caroline Koehler

Currently I am third grade inclusion teacher working with students with autism, specific learning disabilities, and cognitive disabilities. I've also served a k-6 mild interventions teacher working with children with autism. As an employee of a special education co-op, I consult with general education and special education teachers to observe challenging students, provide visuals, and offer necessary support to students with autism. Previously, I was a kindergarten teacher for seven years in both Indiana and Wisconsin. I served as a developmental therapist in early intervention for infants through three-year-olds where I provided in home therapy for infants and toddlers with special needs.

I enjoy hands-on, fun learning. My experience has taught me that students learn best when being active, singing, and cooperating in team building activities. Managing challenging student behavior is my specialty and I've been called, "The queen of behavior management" by administrator.
