Atkinson, Amanda (OT) / Teacher Bio

Meet Mrs. Balaban

Welcome, I am one of the ASD connect Kindergarten teachers. I have been teaching in the RCSD for 8 years. I have taught at school 14, 17, 19, 23, 12, and 54. I am very happy to be back at school 12! I attended Keuka college, where I graduated in 2005 with a major in Elementary Education, and a concentration in American Sign Language. I completed my Master's Degree in curriculum instruction at the University of Phoenix.

I am a mom to 3 amazing children! My daughter is 3, son is 2 and our baby boy is 10 months. As much as it is hard to leave them each day, I love what I do!
