Welcome to Erin Luchterhand Coaching: Virtual Education Intervention Podcast! This podcast is designed to educate, encourage, and entertain families and educators who live and work with neurodivergent friends and family. Perhaps you have a child with Dyslexia, ADHD, or ASD, or you are a teacher/tutor looking for strategies to better support your learners - welcome, I'm glad you're all here! Sometimes we all just need a little more community. We benefit from having people in our lives who understand how we live, how we work, and what our minds are consumed with daily - and we need support and encouragement within that space. That's what this podcast seeks to produce - a community for those living in the world of special education and neurodivergence. In addition to being a special educator (of 15 years) and an interventionist, I'm also a mother. I have 4 lovely children and one of them with an IEP. Let me tell ya, having been on both sides of the IEP process (teacher and parent), it's a whole heck of a lot different when it's your kid.What qualifies me to speak on these topics? Well… As a passionate and forward-thinking specialist, I have successfully developed and championed three programs specifically designed for individuals with disabilities/ neurodiversity, ages PreK-12 and adult. In doing so, I've used research-based strategies and current data to teach, while developing assessments, curriculum, programming, and leading teaching teams. One of my proudest career moments came in 2015 when I was named one of Exceptional Parent Magazine's Teacher of the Year.I value providing exceptional educational services and believe that education should serve a higher purpose than to 'pass a test.' Education, even at a young age, should prepare our kids for success in life (not just school). If you remember one thing about me, remember this - I value using the right tools for each learner's need because I value each learner individually.Having spent much of my career teaching neurodivergent learners virtually, I have mastered rapport-building, specific teaching strategies, and family communication designed to produce the most effective outcome for your child. The remote setting allows me to teach and support students despite their geographic location. I provide intervention and coaching no matter the distance, bridging the gap nationwide.With an emphasis on relationship-building, I employ systematic research-based intervention strategies such as Orton Gillingham. There is a huge connection between executive function skill development and areas of concern in academic and life functions.
