I'm Delia Gibbs, your AUT-GC teacher, and I'm honored to support your child this school year. This is my first year at Oakland as an Exceptional Student Educator (ESE) and I am dedicated to helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
My journey began on the beautiful island of Jamaica, continued through New York, and eventually brought me to Georgia.
While living in New York, I studied Early Childhood Education at Hostos Community College in the Bronx before earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Phoenix. I'm currently completing my clinicals for my Masters in Special Education, having finished all coursework with a focus on General Curriculum.
I enjoy poetry-writing, interior decorating, board games, and spending time at the beach.

Create a predictable Home Routine
Children with autism thrive when they know what to expect.
A simple daily flow helps reduce anxiety.
Use a visual schedule for after school time
Keep homework time short and consistent
End the evening with a calming routine
Read Together Every Day (5-10 mins. is enough)
Let your child choose the book
Use pictures to talk about what's happening
Ask simple questions ("What do you see?)
Re-read favorite books for comfort and confidence
Practice Math in Real Life
Count snacks, toys, or steps
Sort laundry by color
Let your child help measure ingredients
Practice simple addition with everyday items
Encourage Communication in any Form
Model simple language
Give choices (Do you want green or blue?)
Pause and wait to give them time to respond
Celebrate every win
Keep Learning Fun!
