š Welcome to Big Feelings, Calm Skills
Hi everyone! My name is LaToria Session, and Iām so excited youāre here š
Iām a certified teacher with over 7 years of experience in both general and special education, supporting learners from Pre-K through 6th grade. I specialize in helping children build emotional regulation, social skills, and confidence, especially for students with Autism, ADHD, and other learning differences.
I created Big Feelings, Calm Skills because Iāve seen firsthand how many children struggle with big emotionsāand how powerful it can be when theyāre given the right tools, support, and understanding.
š My Background
I bring both expertise and heart to this community:
- Associateās Degree in Early Childhood Education
- Bachelorās Degree in Special Education

- 7+ years supporting diverse learners and emotional needs
āØ Why Learn With Me?
š Strategies rooted in special education best practicesš Strengths-based and child-centered approachš Practical tools that work at home and schoolš Supportive, judgment-free environment for parents and kids
My teaching philosophy is simple but powerful:Relationships come first.When children feel safe, understood, and supported ā real growth happens.
I believe emotional regulation is a skill that can be taught, practiced, and strengthened ā just like reading or math.
š A Personal Note
My passion for this work is also deeply personal. I'm the proud mom of a brilliant daughter on the Autism spectrum, and that lived experience helps me support families with empathy, flexibility, and understanding.
I understand:
- The hard days
- The big emotions
- The victories (big and small)
And Iām here to support you every step of the way.
