Elia Mahoney
Lecturer

Brief Biography

Hello all! My name is Elia Mahoney and the field of Special Education is my passion! I completed my educational specialist credential with an emphasis in Mild/Moderate disabilities from CSUN (go Matadors!). I followed this with my Masters degree and National Board Certification in this focus area as well. My experience focuses on full inclusion and integration of students with moderate to severe disabilities. I was fortunate enough to fine-tune my teaching experience at CHIME - an inclusive school community where every child is valued, respected, and seen for their unique abilities. I support and consult with the provision of professional development in the areas of behavior support, co-teaching, differentiation of core curriculum for students with moderate to severe disabilities, and paraprofessional training. In addition to professional development conducted within LAUSD school sites, I present at local, state, and national conferences. I am part of TASH, a national organization that is committed to supporting and providing civil rights, education, equity and independence for all individuals with disabilities. I have served in a leadership capacity in the training of teacher candidates through my partnership with Cal State University, Northridge. I have also served as a cooperating teacher for Mild/Moderate teacher candidates and mentored students pursuing a credential in Moderate to Severe disabilities.
