Hi. I am Ellen Arnold and I welcome you to my web site. I am addicted to brains, and to finding way to help all learners better understand the own unique strengths so they can maximize their own potential.
I currently split my time between a variety of settings, but always with the same goal in mind: How can I help others maximize their potential.
Here are some of my current endeavors:
Teaching graduate students at the Thomas Reynolds Center for Excellence in Education at Daemen College in Amherst, New York. I train these students in the elements of empowering students who have special needs.
Facilitating online courses that I developed: One is on Effective Strategies In An Inclusion Classroom. The other is Teaching Students With Autism: Strategies For Success. I have students from all over the world involved in these exciting online programs.
Providing ongoing consultation to teachers/staff in school districts: I provide support to Instructional Support Teams or to Directors of Special Education, so they can learn to work with a student’s strengths in order to maximize success.
Presenting workshops, seminars and keynotes on topics ranging from Brain Based Teaching to Effective transition to college for students with special needs.
Assessing those with special needs who need updated documentation as they transition from one level of education or career to another. Sometimes this is done through contracts as 2nd opinion work; sometimes it is provided through agencies and sometimes done privately.
Training staff at Swain Resort. I serve as the training coordinator for the Snow Sports Academy, which allows me to spend most of my winter outside, on the hill, coaching instructors in how to maximize the performance of their athletes.
Authoring books and articles. I have written a variety of practical materials for educators and parents and students, in order to reinforce the trainings and seminars I do.
Grandparenting. I am the proud grandmother of three children in Colorado and 2 in Indiana, and travel to see them as often as possible.
