Daly, Thomas - SpEd Moderate/Severe

 
Hi! My name is Tom Daly and I am the teacher of students with moderate-severe disabilities here at Kearny CTA. I am located in room 607.
 
Stop by anytime to say Hi or to ask a question!
 
Here is some background information about me:
 
I started as a teacher in the school district in 1993, 18 years ago, at Riley Atypical School; a self-contained school for students with behavioral concerns.
 
I have taught at comprehensive school sites, as well as special day schools. I have worked as a correctional teacher and a district-wide behavior specialist.
 
In addition to 18 years of daily classroom experience, I have coached eight high school teams, supervised services for English Language Learners, co-coordinated school-wide testing, and provided a variety of effective district and site in-services.
 
I have also worked as adjunct instructor in the Exceptional Children's Department at National University.

I hold a B.A. in Economics and an M.A. in Education. I hold two teaching credentials, a specialized behavior disorder certificate and an administrative credential.

I recently returned to SDSU as a graduate student in order to earn an Applied Behavior Analysis certificate, an Autism certificate and a full credential in the filed of moderate-severe disabilities.
 

I have been the keynote speaker for both the ADHD Foundation of Canada and the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.

I live in San Diego, California, and have a daughter attending UC Santa Cruz. 

I love traveling, and, every summer I travel for 65 days to various countries. Over the years, I have to visited all seven countries in Central America, eight countries in South America, eleven countries in Europe and the beautiful island of Tahiti!  
 

I am a coordinator for the Annual Captain Matt Bancroft 3-on-3 Charity basketball tournament. I love playing basketball. I love writing books that help teachers and parents.

In 2003, I wrote these two books:
 
"The ADHD Solution: How to Turn any Disruptive Child Into Your Best Student"
"Unlocking the Gifted Student Inside Your ADHD Child."
 
In 2010, I wrote an 80 page report entitled, "Disruption Free Teaching Made Simple."
In 2011,, I just finished a 75 page report entitled, "How to Save the Drowning Student."
 
Currently, my books are in 41 countries and about 34,000 teachers across the globe subscribe to my Website for free at www.adhdsolution.com
 
Thanks for reading my overview.
Have a wonderful experience at CTA!!
 
Mr. Daly
