Hello and welcome to JJ Hill Student Support Services!  My name is Gary Downing and I am licensed in Specific Learning Disabilities & Autism Spectrum Disorders.  I have been teaching in public schools for over 20 years now!  My academic focus has always been reading and writing instruction.  I LOVE teaching kiddos to become independent readers!

When I'm not working at JJ Hill, I enjoy life along the St. Croix River with my family, and I also play and record original indie music.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about the special education services offered here at JJ Hill!
