Joel T. - Austin Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Joel T.

Full-Time, 4 Years of Experience

I have a master's degree in special education. I taught a high school class with a focus on job and life skills for a year at the school for the deaf. I taught a high school class with a focus on social and behavioral skills for a year in a school near Denton, Texas. I have worked at Lions camp dealing with physical disabilities, and I have worked for after school programs for kids with varying social and physcial needs. I love what I do, but I am looking for a change from the public school setting. I have little interest in politics and administration. My goal is to focus on building strong relationships with individuals.
Related Hobbies and Interests
I am currently involved with the Salvation Army and I am going to school at Austin Community College studying renewable energy.
