Mr. Young
Hello! Good morning/afternoon/evening. I'm Mr. Young. I am currently teaching in my special day classroom for students in kindergarten, first, and second grade with high functioning autism. I've been working with students with autism and emotional disturbance since 2008 and teaching at Knollwood since 2012.
I believe that all of my students have the ability to do great things throughout their life, as long as they have the necessary components of success- a caring classroom and a caring family that they can feel attached to. As long as those two parts put in as much effort as the other, then there will be success, even in the smallest achievements! Working not only on academics, but social, emotional, and behavioral skills are all important tenets of our school year.
When I'm not working, I enjoy reading comic books, playing with my 3 dogs (2 mini poodles and 1 pitbull) and 2 cats, watching animation, drawing, biking, hiking, playing music, and collecting action figures, comic books, and records. I consider myself very lucky to have a job that I love and am very passionate about.
