Lina Z. - Altamonte Springs Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Lina Z.

Full-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I have worked with children of autism for the past four years. These children range in age from 5 years to 21 years of age. They also have varying levels of functioning. I am dedicated to working with the children and helping them to become as independent in their community as they can. It always gives me great joy when I see that they are understanding something I am teaching them, whether it is eye contact, appropriate sitting, or multiplication.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I like reading magazine articles in psychology or any other articles that have to do with the autism population.
