About Me

Hi and welcome! I’m Darby! I teach secondary special education. Every day my students and I work on the real-life skills that matter after graduation: jobs, money, independence, and confidence.

I started Darby Advocates to share what works in my classroom with special education teachers and families everywhere. Here you’ll find transition tips, hands-on activity ideas, and the supplies and tools I actually use.

If you’re here, you probably celebrate people with disabilities too… so I believe we are already besties?!
