Irene Mulewa Patrice Inclusive special needs teacher/ Shadow Teacher
No reviews yet

I am a passionate and experienced Special Needs Educator with a strong background in supporting learners with autism, ADHD, intellectual, and physical disabilities skilled in applying ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I specialize in designing and implementing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), using multi-sensory approaches, and applying task analysis and differentiated instruction to meet each learner’s unique needs. My teaching methods focus on building independence through functional learning, structured routines, visual supports, and the integration of assistive technology to enhance communication and engagement.

Over the years, I have successfully helped learners make measurable progress in both academic and life skills areas, including vocational training and Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). I am committed to promoting inclusive practices by working collaboratively with caregivers, therapists, and fellow educators. My ability to adapt, support behavior positively, and create inclusive learning environments has enabled many of my students to grow in confidence, independence, and social interaction. I've worked with incredible institutions like Gateway Talent School, Eldoret Special School, and Kitui School for the Mentally Handicapped.
As a freelance educator, I offer:
• Home-based or virtual personalized sessions
• Support with IEP execution and development
• Behavior and communication support strategies
• Guidance for caregivers on creating supportive routines
• Holistic development through structured play, life skills training, and emotional regulation
I am here to walk this journey with you helping your child thrive in their own unique way.
