A Virtual Microschool for
Neurodivergent Learners
Taki-Wa-Tanga is a learning community where students learn “in their OWN TIME AND SPACE”, and Monotropism is embraced and “state of flow” is fostered!
A Virtual Micro-School
All students can learn, when supports are in place!
My students call me Ms. Stacy, and they know how much I absolutely love teaching! I strive to meet the individual needs of each student, and I also believe that learning should be fun and engaging!
I teach “without boxes”, and I encourage my students to think Outside the Box!
I take pride in teaching with JOY, while supporting the individual needs of my neurodivergent students!
Taki-wa-Tanga Learning Community
Taki-Wa-Tanga is a virtual space where neurodivergent kiddos can learn while jumping, laughing, stimming, dancing, and spinning- WITHOUT a mask!
Taki-Wa-Tanga is a safe learning community for students and their parents. We are a neuroaffirming community, that fosters the gifts and talents of neurodivergent thinkers!
Who is Lamar?
I will always remember the day that I met my first Autistic student! Lamar was a beautiful 3 year old little boy, with big brown eyes, surrounded by a facial expression of sadness and confusion.
Lamar became the inspiration and motivation, that led me to discover my passion, along with my purpose, and I am forever grateful!
