  • Proven ability to identify learning barriers and impacts, in response to a broad range of presentations/conditions, and determine appropriate reasonable adjustments.
  • Demonstrated highly effective interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills, combined with strong organizational abilities to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and work efficiently under pressure.
Benefits
