Free ABA Learning Games

Jacob's Lessons is a website that has free online learning games. I am using some of these games for teaching reading and math for some of our students, and they greatly enjoy them! You can visit the website here: http://www.jacobslessons.com/

Online Sensory Room

I recently discovered this free online sensory room. You can create a relaxing scene complete with music or nature sounds. This program would be great for use a reward, or just to calm and de-stress. Click here to access the sensory room. You can view the whole "sensory house" here.

Ms. Caldwell

Welcome to my website! I am the Autism Specialist at The Flint Academy. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Elementary and Special Education) from the University of North Texas. I also completed a Master's Degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Autism Intervention and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at UNT. This semester, I began working toward a Ph.D. in Special Education (with a focus on Autism) at the University of North Texas. I will be attending this program part-time while teaching at The Flint Academy. I am excited about the benefits that this increased knowledge will bring to our students and faculty.

My previous teaching and internship experiences include elementary special education (1st - 5th grades), Montessori preschool, general education Kindergarten, ABA Coach, and preschool inclusion for children with Autism.

I have also given presentations at several conferences and events for teachers. These include:
  • “Ask About Autism,” Denton Public Library (April, 2009)
  • “Charlotte Mason Educational Methods for Students with Autism/Asperger’s,” Classical Education Summer Workshop for Teachers (June, 2009)
  • “Programmed Instruction: A Technology of Teaching for Students with Autism,” Texas Council for Exceptional Children Conference (June, 2009)
  • “How to Accommodate Students with Autism and Asperger’s in the Classroom,” The Learning Center of North Texas (October, 2009)


My hobbies include reading, astronomy, crochet, playing the flute, and spending time with my family. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you have a wonderful day!
