About me
Abby Taylor has been teaching and conducting research related to early childhood special education and the Pyramid Model over the last 15 years. She has been a teacher in inclusive toddler and preschool early childhood settings and a coach to teachers and childcare programs supporting implementation of the Pyramid Model and other evidence-based practices. She has conducted research projects related to adapting peer-mediated interventions for children with internalizing behaviors, social problem-solving, and coaching throughout her time at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. She has presented her work at multiple national early childhood conferences yearly, and continues to publish research and practitioner articles and book chapters related to her work.
Abby’s passion is supporting teachers and programs to use data and high leverage practices to promote social emotional development, provide targeted support, and ensure each and every child and family has the support they need. Abby’s passion for supporting those who support young children is motivated by her experiences in the classroom, and her journey learning to support and advocate for her three children who each have individual social emotional and developmental needs of their own. In moving back to Wisconsin after 19 years, Abby is excited spend more time with family and explore the great outdoors that the state has to offer.
