As a Special Education Consultant for Prairie Lakes AEA, I volunteered to join the agencies KU team. I studied under the tutelage of KU veteran Ceil Triggs from 2006 to 2008. Courses I became certified to present during that time included Word Identification, Visual Imagery, First-Letter Mnemonic, Fundamentals of Sentence Writing, and Proficiency in Sentence Writing. Ann Hoffman approved my portfolio in Des Moines and my certification as a Learnng Strategist.
