Hi, my name is Dawn Ball. My life revolves around my love for God, my beautiful daughter, Margaret, my grandson, Dave, and the person who brings us together—my wonderful mother. Both my daughter and grandson have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and live with me, which fuels my passion as an autism advocate for acceptance.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education (Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grade), along with certification in Exceptional Student Education (ESE) and an Autism Endorsement. I have worked in the field of education for over 30 years, with the last 16 years dedicated to the Okaloosa County School District.

I am passionate about my work and find it deeply rewarding. I strive to empower all children with the skills they need for academic success, and I look forward to working with your student.
