My name is Ms. Hayes and this is my 12th year teaching in District 65 at Nichols Middle School in the self-contained Structured Teaching Education Program (STEP). This is my 16th year as a Special Education teacher. I graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and from Roosevelt University with a Masters in Special Education. I have worked in various special education settings (school, home-based, clinical, and psychiatric hospital) and have had about 15+ years of experience working with children with Autism and various disabilities.
