Hello! My name is Elizabeth J. Kelley and I will be your child's ESE teacher this year. Welcome to our classroom website. This is my first year with Marion County Public schools, but my fifth year teaching K-1 Autism. I am certified in exceptional student education in the state of Florida. I am originally from Massachusetts, but grew up in Miami, Florida. I have also lived in Virginia and New Hampshire. I began my teaching career in the Seattle, Washington area. I have a bachelor’s degree in special education from Southern New Hampshire University. After graduating in 2014, I worked as an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapist where I provided therapy to students in their homes and school settings.  I am also a mother to a 1 year old little girl named Lucy. She keeps my very busy! Special education is my passion and I love providing learning opportunities for all students!
