Sandra Achenbach, MDS teacher

I am a multiple disability teacher who works at Point Pleasant Pediatric Special Care, a residential facility for medically involved children and young adults. This June I will complete 11 years in this position.

My caseload includes 8 children ranging from 6 to 18.

A typical day includes sensory stimulation activities, switch usage, leisure activities, computer time, vocational activities and group time.The students also participate in art, music and games on a weekly basis.

I have one teacher assistant, Regina Rutt, who has worked with me at Point Pleasant for many years. Regina truly loves the children and is a caring, wonderful person.

I really enjoy serving these students and celebrate every small victory they achieve.
