MEET CHRISTINE SAVIDES
Licensed Special Education (K-12) and Regular Education (K-8) Teacher, Direct Service Provider, Consultant, Assessment and Goal Planning. I have worked with individuals with additional needs since the early 1980's. I began working in public schools at the elementary level in 2006 while living in North Carolina. In 2009, I moved to Madison and continued working at the elementary level through the Madison Metropolitan School District. In 2016 I began working with individuals aged 18-21 through the Middleton Cross Plains Area school district. Working with older individuals allowed me the privilege of helping them to obtain paid work, become involved in their community, socialize with friends, live independently, and achieve educational and independent living goals. I have assisted individuals with learning the skills to apply for and attend college. I have helped individuals transition from living at home with parents to moving into their own home (townhouse, apartment, or group home). My greatest pleasure is seeing the joy individuals feel when they are successful in achieving their goals.
